Year OF Christ's Birth,

History tells us that for 5oo years
the Christians had no calendar Of Their
own, hut reckoncd the years according
10 the customs Of the nations To which
they belonged The Roman Christians
used the "Auna Urhis Conditiuc" or
year of the founding of Rome, to count
from others counted from the reign
of piocletiun, calling ii 'thc Era Of The
Martys - and still others used the
calendar Of the Copts of Egypt. In the
sixth century Denis the Little, n Greek
monk living in Rome. made a calendar
counting from the Incarnation, the
date of which he fixed ut 153 A. u. &.
So we commonly say that Rome was
founde din 1913 b. {. At the beginning
of the eighth century, the venerable
Bede pointed out that this was IN his
tOrical hluudcr. But no general DO
tice was taken of his criticism, and the
error has continued TO this day. His
toric facts have enabled modern schOl-
ars TO determine, without much pos
Sibility of doubt, the exact year Of the
birth of Jesus, and to place II ut what
