| abstract | - New calendar conceived by Cesidio Tallini, and having 14 months. The calendar has generated other cultural offshoots like a Martian calendar, as well as a new astrology and astronomy. The Cesidian calendar is superior to the Gregorian calendar in many ways. There are 7 days in a Cesidian calendar week, as well as 2 irregular or special days:
* * Jeuday originally was "Juday", coming from the English Jupiter + day. It was changed to Jeuday on April 20, 2006 (P:06E2006), which comes from the French jeudi + the English day, on the suggestion of linguist Adalbert Kowal. He made the interesting observation that the French form for "Jupiter's Day" was better, since it alludes to the Ludi Romani, a religious festival in ancient Rome held to the honour of Jupiter, whose temple was dedicated on 13 September 509 BC. The French form of the word not only is a derivative of the Latin Jovis Dies ("Jupiter's Day"), but also alludes to the fact that "Jupiter's day" in Rome, jeudi in French, was a big dies ludi, a day when a great variety of state-funded entertainments that were available for all. This was clearly more suggestive of the Sabbath function of this day in the Cesidian calendar, and so the change to the French form of the word seemed more apt.
* † Saturnday originally was "Saturday", but was changed to Saturnday on April 16, 2006 (J:02E2006) to differentiate it from the Gregorian day which also stands for the Sabbath of the Jews and several Christian sects. The Italian "sabato" and the Interlingua "sabbato" were also changed to differentiate the Cesidian second day of the week from the Jewish Sabbath ("Seventh Day" in Hebrew).
* ‡ Originally was "Neptuday", but was changed to Neptunday on July 13, 2005 (P:12H2005), thanks to an intelligent multilingual suggestion by Alberto Mardegan. The Cesidian Months, on the other hand, are 14:
* * Montessori originally was "Muhammad", but month's name was changed to Montessori on December 2, 2005 (V:24M2005), through a calendar reform process. This became necessary to avoid serious problems that may have occurred through extensive Cesidian calendar use.
* * Jeuday originally was "Juday", "giovedì", and "jovedi" in English, Italian, and Interlingua respectively, but was changed to Jeuday, giudì, and jeudi on April 20, 2006 (P:06E2006) to the French form of the Jovis Dies ("Jupiter's Day") on the suggestion of linguist Adalbert Kowal, since this the French jeudi also alludes to "Jupiter's Day" being a dies ludi during Roman times, a day when a great variety of state-funded entertainments that were available for all. This was clearly more suggestive of the Sabbath function of this day in the Cesidian calendar, and so the change to the French form of the word seemed more apt. The English Jeuday and the Italian giudì are respectively Anglicised and Italianised forms of the French jeudi, while the Interlingua form jeudi, is straight from the French.

The Cesidian calendar is superior to the Gregorian calendar in many ways. There are 7 days in a Cesidian calendar week, as well as 2 irregular or special days: Day of the Week Abbreviation Notes Jeuday † Pronounced "Jew-day", from the French jeudi + the English day. The French jeudi in turn comes from the Latin Jovis Dies, meaning "Jupiter's Day". Also known as "Messiah Day", it is the Cesidian Sabbath. In 2006 the Cesidian Sabbath will fall on Gregorian Sundays. Saturnday ‡ Day of Saturn (first day of work) Uranday Day of Uranus (day devoted to projects, inventions, high technology) Neptunday ? Day of Neptune (day devoted to dreaming, prayer, contemplation) Plutoday Day of Pluto (day of sex or sharing, and day for honouring the dead) Mercuday Day of Mercury (day devoted to letter, article, or essay writing, to communications in general) Venusday Day of Venus (day devoted to beauty, harmony, love, affection, hedonism) Earthday/Marsday Irregular days: Earthday is the last day of the year, and Marsday is a Leap Year Day. Day of Earth, and Day of Mars. The first has the same symbolism as the popular environmental "Earthday", and the second is something like a "Veterans' Day" and "Memorial Day" put together. † Originally was "Juday", coming from the English Jupiter + day.
