Leap day in the Orthodox calendar
I have spent some time revising the article Leap year. I have one remaining concern, which is over the status of 29 February as leap day. I wondered if regular contributors to this article might be able to advise?

All the information I have been able to find is from English historical records: information from other cultures is sadly lacking. Long before England moved from the Julian to Gregorian calendar in 1752, it had abandoned the traditional Julian "doubling" of February 24 in a leap year (yes, two days in a row, both called February 24: see Bissextus) in favour of adding the extra day at the end of the month – February 29.

So my question is whether the Orthodox churches continue to observe the historic "doubling" practice or have they also abandoned it? Are there any records of when that happened? 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 11:17, 28 December 2022 (UTC)
