Celebrate the new year.
Another
year is over and everyone has their way of celebrating, but in some
countries the new year does not begin on January 1st.
For
example, one of the earliest records of an end-of-year celebration
corresponds to the Akitu spring festival celebrated in ancient
Mesopotamia over four thousand years ago at the spring equinox.
In the year 46 a. C.,
in Rome, Julio Caesar decided to move the date to January in honor to
the God of the beginnings, Jano, since that way a synchrony with the
movements of the Sun was obtained. It is from here that this tradition became habitual in the European territories.
But
in the Middle Ages, Christian leaders changed the date again because
they viewed the festival as pagan, and the beginning of the year began
on March 25.
Later, in 1582, the
reform of Pope Gregory XIII was implanted and the Gregorian calendar was
created, thanks to which the year begins again on January 1st. A
large number of countries follow this calendar so they celebrate a new
year that day, but other countries celebrate it on other dates.
- The Mapuche New Year is July 24.
- The New Year Inca is commemorated on July 24.
- The Aimara New Year takes place on June 21.
- The Ethiopian New Year is celebrated on September 11.
- The Iranian New Year is celebrated on the spring equinox (on 21 March).
- Chinese New Year and Vietnamese New Year begins on the first day of the first lunar month and lasts for 15 days.
- In Israel between September and October.
- And in India on March 22.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
