Enoch calendar

Alright kiddo, have you ever heard of a calendar? It's like a big chart that helps us keep track of the days, weeks, and months so we know what day it is and what we need to do. Now, the Enoch calendar is a bit different from the one we use today.

First, we need to talk about who Enoch was. He was a really important figure in the Bible who lived a really long time ago. According to some stories, he was pretty good friends with God and even got to visit heaven! Now, Enoch is also thought to have created a calendar.

The Enoch calendar is based on the sun and the moon, just like our calendar today. But it's a bit more complicated because it takes into account something called "intercalation". That's just a fancy word that means adding extra days to make up for the fact that the solar and lunar cycles don't quite match up perfectly. So, the Enoch calendar has 364 days in a year, which is 52 weeks of 7 days each, but there's also an extra day added every 4 years to make up for the odd time gap.

Now, the Enoch calendar also places a lot of importance on the number 7. That's why each month has exactly 4 weeks of 7 days each. And the calendar starts on a specific day, which is thought to be the day God created the world. It's called the "Messianic Era" and it's believed to be a time when everything will be really great and peaceful.

So, that's the basics of the Enoch calendar. It's a bit different from what we're used to, but it's still a way of keeping track of time and important events.
