Not having read the story, I'm not quite sure to what you are referring
here, but I was under the impression that when switching from the Julian
calendar to the Gregorian calendar, both days and dates were skipped,
and that this was used as a theological argument against the adoption of
the new calendar in the east, as, supposedly, the sequence of weekdays
since the creation of the world would be broken!
