The decree on the ''Juche'' calendar was adopted on 8 July 1997, on the third anniversary of the death of Kim Il Sung. The same decree also designated the birth anniversary of Kim Il Sung as the [[Day of the Sun]]. The birth year of Kim Il Sung, 1912 in the Gregorian calendar, became "''Juche'' 1" in the ''Juche'' calendar.<ref name="Lee2001"/><ref name="Dimitrov2013">{{cite book|author=Martin K.
