Q: When does the new millennium begin?
A: The official position is the following: 12-25-00 at midnight is the technical end to the second
millennium according to the calculations now current.These calculations were first introduced by
Denis the Diminutive (Dionysus Exiguus) in 525, and popularized by Bede in England (early 8th)
and the Carolingians in continental Europe (latter 8th cn). In the last two centuries, as the culture
has become increasingly secular, there has been a shift to the use of CE or Common Era. The
official change of the millennium according to this system is 12-31-00 at midnight.
