Common year starting on Wednesday

A common year starting on Wednesday is any non-leap year (a year with 365 days) that begins on Wednesday, 1 January, and ends on Wednesday, 31 December. Its dominical letter hence is E. The most recent year of such kind was 2014 and the next one will be 2025 in the Gregorian calendar[1] or, likewise, 2015 and 2026 in the obsolete Julian calendar, see below for more. This common year is one of the three possible common years in which a century year can begin on, and occurs in century years that yield a remainder of 200 when divided by 400. The most recent such year was 1800 and the next one will be 2200.

Any common year that starts on Wednesday has only one Friday the 13th: the only one in this common year occurs in June.

Any common year that starts on Wednesday has three Lucky Mondays; in other words the 3rd day of the month being on a Monday. The three in this common year occurs in February, March, and November. Leap years starting on Saturday share this characteristic, but in January, April, and July.

This is the only type of year in which all dates fall on their respective weekdays 57 times in the 400 year Gregorian Calendar cycle.
