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.
