Under the simple rule of the Hasmonean calendar, the 1st day of the year was always a Sunday, while Nissan 14th & 21st as well as Tishrei 1st, 15th and 22nd were always Saturdays. This simple rule was that the week of the Fullmoon closest to the Spring Equinox is the 1st week of the year. This allowed everyone to know when they had to start preparing for the Akeedah Pilgrimage from which Christian Holy Week and Islamic Hajj both derive. Even the 1st month of the Chinese always used to coincide with Shevat.
Although the Julian Calendar was inspired by the Hasmonean Calendar, sadly the Julian Calendar no longer follows this simple rule. As a result, Russian Christmas currently coincides with Gregorian January 7th. Hopefully this rule will be restored on earth one day.
The Council of Nicea was supposed to be responsible for making this calendar official but thanks to the Constantinian dynasty the Julian calendar persisted.
Next Judaism adopted Hillel II's calendar when the Sanhedrin failed.
Then (according to academics) under Umar II the Meshulamim opted for a 12 Lunar month 355 day year instead of the Hasmonean calendar where Ramadan always coincided with Teveth.
Finally in 1582 the Romans started pushing the Gregorian Calendar.
As a result Jews, Constantinians, Muslims, and Romans are all divided through a kind of nationalistic calendar Idolatry which has torn apart the Tent of Abraham. It is therefore essential to respect each other's calendars rather than idolize our own until the Messiah comes to restore one system of universal time throughout the cosmos.
