Qué es un Calendario?What is a Calendar?

Un Calendario es un instrumento para contar el tiempo pasado o futuro, para mostrar cuántos días transcurren hasta que un determinado evento ocurre.

A calendar is an instrument for counting past or future time, to show how many days passed or until a certain event occurs.

Muchas culturas precolombinas, o prehispánicas, contaban los días antes de la cosecha o de un festival religioso, o simplemente para contar cuánto tiempo había transcurrido desde algún suceso

 importante. 

Many pre-Hispanic cultures counted the days until the harvest or a religious festival—or how long since something important happened. The earliest calendars must have been strongly influenced by the geographical location of the people who made them. In colder countries, the concept of the year was determined by the seasons, specifically by the end of winter. But in warmer countries, where the seasons are less pronounced, the Moon became the basic unit for time reckoning; an old Jewish book says that “the Moon was created for the counting of the days.”
