So...trying to explain that if the first year of the millenium was considered “0” year, then when going from 1999 to 2000 would have been the new millenium hurt your brain?
The catch is that our secular calendar is an extension of the church calendar. While people argue whether or not they got 1 A.D. in the right place (let alone the debate over what date ought to count as Christmas) it is clear that a zero year was never intended and historians honor that convention. The year after 1 B.C. was 1 A.D.
