He was directed to find the date by request of Pope St. John I.NOTE: in the Calendar's being used there is no year '0' there is 1 BC and then the next year is 1 AD.Recently academics (educators) have created other designations; BCE (Before Common Era) and CE (Common Era).

Did Gregorian calendar start on year 0?

No it did not. First of all, there was no year zero. Secondly, the Gregorian Calendar was not created until 1582 AD, as an update to the almost identical Julian Calendar. It existed since what would now be regarded as 46 BC, though obviously the term BC was not used then. It used a system counting from the foundation of Rome, labelled AUC and the year we call 46 BC was 708 AUC. Neither Julian nor Gregorian Calendars have a year zero in their calculations. 1 AD immediately follows 1 BC.
