How slow can a stepper motor go?

Complete noob here so forgive me for asking what might be an obvious question.

I'm trying to make a year clock (takes one year to for full revolution). I found some info that would let me make it like a conventional geared clock. I was wondering however, if I could make it using a stepper motor?

Is it possible to slow a stepper motor down so that it takes 364 and 1/4 days to make one full revolution? I don't think the steps have to be too accurate since the dial will only have months and I think I could adjust that so each month is the same number of steps (will have to figure February out).

TIA
