I don't recall where I read it. Sweden had its own calendar. > February had 30 days at one point. --- The idea was to gradually change to the Gregorian calender 1700-1740 by omitting leap days, but because of the Great Nordic War only the leap day in 1700 was omitted, and the peculiar Swedish calendar was only in use 1700-1711. Then they returned to the Julian calender and February 1712 had a 30th day, but that was only in that year. And then finally changed to the Gregorian calender in 1753. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swedish_calendar // Bo Johansson
