The calendar initially used by the Christians was established while the Roman Empire was still a Pagan empire. This was by Julius Caesar (13 July 100 BC -- 15 March 44 BC) and he has a month named after him in the calendar (July).

This Julian Calendar was revised by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582, and is what is usually called "the Christian Calendar." It was not immediately adopted by all Christian countries. Britain and the British Empire adopted it in 1752. Alaska adopted it in 1867 when it was purchased by the United States from Russia. Russia adopted it in 1918 and Greece in 1923.
The modern western calendar was established by Pope Gregory XIII on February 24, 1582. The Christian Liturgical Calendar was developed over the last two thousand years and varies between churches. The Roman Catholic liturgical cycle is generally followed by the Protestant Churches but not by the Eastern Orthodox Churches.
