Why We Celebrate New Year?

Lots of people prepare to usher in the New Year. It is a fresh start. New resolutions and celebrations with family and friends.

It was celebrated for the first time in 45 BC on the Julian calendar. Heeding the advice of astronomer, Sosigenes, Caesar opted for the solar year like the Egyptians at that time. Under the Julian calendar the year totalled 365 and a quarter day and so Caesar added a day to February every four years.

During the Middle Ages, celebrating New Year fell out of practice. Then we have the Gregorian calendar by (you guessed it!) Pope Gregory XIII. Much of the world has since followed and celebrate New Year’s Day on January 1, although many other Eastern cultures celebrate new year on different dates throughout the year.

The common thread for a New Year is a gratified good bye to the previous year and a hopeful welcome of a New Year. Many attend parties, concerts, family get-togethers or a Midnight Service. Whatever it maybe, make a difference for good this New Year.

“Happy New Year!”
