| '''''Era Vulgaris''''', Latin for "common era" and frequently abbreviated as "e.v." or "EV," is used to denote Gregorian calendar years after Christ.
| | #REDIRECT [[era vulgaris]] |

| Like the English equivalent, "CE," it is used instead of the [[Christianity|Christian]] "AD" (which stands for ''Anno Domini'' or "the year of our Lord") because [[Thelema]] does not identify the birth of [[Christ]] with the beginning of our Era.

| | |
| Likewise in English, "BCE," or "Before the Common Era" is used in place of the Christian "BC," which is an abbreviation of "Before Christ." The Latin equivalent of "BCE" would probably be "AEV," which is an abbreviation of ''ante-era vulgaris''.
