History of No Longer New Year's Day
In 46 B.C., the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar developed what is known as the Julian calendar after consulting with the most prominent astronomers and mathematicians during that time. This calendar bore a close resemblance to the Gregorian calendar introduced by Pope Gregory XIII in the 15th century. The latter calendar has since been widely used.
Caesar instituted January 1 as the first day of the year, partly as a way of honoring the month’s namesake, Janus, the Roman god of beginnings (who had two faces allowing him to look back into the past and forward into the future). Romans celebrated the occasion by offering sacrifices to Janus, exchanging gifts with one another, and decorating their homes with branches of laurel as well as attending parties.
In Medieval Europe, Christian leaders temporarily replaced January 1 as the first day of the year with days that had more religious significance such as December 25 (which is Christmas Day celebrated by Catholics and Christians) and March 25, which is the Feast of the Annunciation. Pope Gregory XIII then reestablished January 1 as New Year’s Day in 1582.
In many countries, New Year’s Day celebrations typically begin on the evening of December 31 (also New Year’s Eve) and continue into the early hours of January 1. Individuals often enjoy meals and snacks which are believed to bestow good luck for the coming year. In Spain and several other Spanish-speaking countries, people bolt a dozen grapes just before midnight as a symbol of their hopes for the months ahead.
