The outset of the contemporary system of chronology (A.D.; common era; our era; new era) is connected with the year of Christ's Birth as a God-man. Dionysius Exiguus, a Roman monk calculated this year in VI century. Nowadays, it is more and more believed that Dionysius made a miscount in his computation. In the present work we make an attempt to determine this miscount through astronomical and calendar computations. For that purpose, we use data from Church tradition and St. John's Gospel. It was found that the miscount of Dionysius regarding the year of Christ's Birth is 9 years i.e. the Alexandrian chroniclers were right (according to them Jesus was born in A.D. 9). If it is so, we must celebrate 2000 years from Christ's Birth and the end of the second Alexandrian Millenium in 2009, on December 25th.
