The Church Calendar (in Romania) up to 1924 was the same as that of Nicaea, based on severe apostolic
canons, but in 1924, the Scripture of the prophet Daniel was fulfilled: «the people made bold to even change the
times», when the primate metropolitan - of that time, Miron Cristea, (Primate metropolitan = (in the past) a title
given to the first metropolitan of a country; today it would be equal to that of a patriarch) introduced the Gregorian
Calendar (Catholic) as result of a „pan-Orthodox” congress that took place in 1923, in Constantinople. At that
congress, the patriarch of that time, Meletie, proposed the acceptance of the „revised” Julian Calendar,
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Revised_Julian_calendar) which was in accord with the Catholic one for a period up
to the year 2800 and „it was allowing that all the feasts to be celebrated at the same time with those of other
confessions”. «… and he shall wear out the saints of the Most High and he shall think to change the times and
the law…» (Daniel 7/25), r.n.
