Original Note:
In October 1582, the Gregorian calendar was adopted to replace the Julian calendar. To fix a drift in dates, 10 days were skipped—October 4 was followed by October 15. That’s why those dates are missing in the calendar shown. https://www.britannica.com/story/ten-days-that-vanished-the-switch-to-the-gregorian-calendar
