REVOLUTIONARY CALENDAR, rev-6-lu'shun-er-i kal'en-der, a calendar adopted by France during the Reign of Terror. Approved by the National Convention in 1793, it was made retroactive to the autumnal equinox of 1792, which was also the official date for the establishment of the republic. The Year 1 therefore began on Sept. 22, 1792. The year was to consist of 12 months, each of 30 days, and instead of seven-day weeks each was divided into three decades (weeks of 10 days), the last of which was a day of rest; the five days left over at the end of the year (six in leap year) were to be national holidays france known as sans-culottides. |
