C.E. stands for “Common Era.” It is a new way of dating events in history that is more inclusive of everyone, regardless of their religious beliefs. The most common use of C.E. is in reference to the years of someone’s life (for example, Jesus Christ was born in 4 C.E.).<\/p>\n

C.E. stands for Common Era. It is used to designate years in the Gregorian calendar, which is the most widely used calendar in the world. The Gregorian calendar is a solar calendar with 12 months of 28-31 days each. The year is 365 days long, with a leap year every 4 years. In the Common Era, the year 1 C.E. is equivalent to 1 A.D.<\/p>\n

Why do we use CE instead of AD? <\/h2>\n

There are a few reasons why some people have adopted BCE\/CE instead of BC\/AD. One important reason is religious neutrality. Since the Gregorian calendar has superseded other calendars to become the international standard, members of non-Christian groups may object to the explicitly Christian origins of BC and AD. By using BCE and CE, we can avoid any reference to Christianity in our dating system and be more inclusive of other religions. Additionally, many people believe that the concept of BC and AD is inaccurate, since there is no year zero between 1 BCE and 1 CE. Therefore, they prefer to use BCE and CE so that there is no implied break in history.<\/p>\n

BCE (Before Common Era) and BC (Before Christ) refer to the same time period before year 1 CE (Common Era).<\/p>\n
