Perpetual Calendar
The perpetual calendar makes it possible to find the correct day of the week for any date over a wide range of years. To find the day of the week for any Gregorian or Julian date in the perpetual calendar provided in this table, first find the proper dominical letter (one of the letters A through G) for the year in the upper table. Leap years have two dominical letters, the first applicable to dates in January and February, the second to dates in the remaining months. Then find the same dominical letter in the lower table, in whichever column it appears opposite the month in question. The days then fall as given in the lowest section of the column. [*On and before 1582, October 4 only. **On and after 1582, October 5 only]
