The earliest reference to the concept of a Blue Moon appeared in 1528, where it simply meant something absurd or impossible. Later, because of a difference between the physical world and the Catholic church’s calendar, an extra full moon occasionally appeared at the “wrong” time.

Each season—summer, ...

When the expected change did not occur on that date, the concept changed to say that the event marked the beginning of a five-year period of change. Most people today don’t think that change occurred, and negative events such as massacres and wars continued. However, there were positive geopolitical events ...

In ancient Rome, the calendar consisted of 12 months, lasting a total of 355 days with an additional month added during leap years.
