What are Julian and Octennial

The term 'Julian' refers to the Julian calendar, which was introduced by Julius Caesar in 45 BCE. This solar calendar is comprised of 365 days divided into 12 months, with a leap day added to February every four years. The Julian year is, therefore, either 365 or 366 days long, depending on the occurrence of a leap year.

An 'Octennial' is a period of eight years. The term is often used in the context of events, anniversaries, or phenomena that recur or are celebrated every eight years. It is derived from the Latin root 'octo', meaning 'eight', and is less common than terms like 'biennial' (every two years) or 'decennial' (every ten years).
