History of the English New Year
In the modern Gregorian calendar and the Julian calendar, the new year begins on January 1. The idea of celebrating the English New Year dates back to 2000 BC. Again, according to many, New Year's celebrations in Rome began in 153 BC. Later, in 46 BC, Emperor Julius Caesar introduced a new calendar. This is the Julian calendar.
In Rome, the first day of the year in the Julian calendar is dedicated to the god Janus. Janus is the god of entrance or initiation. The first month of the year is named after him. What we call the English calendar is actually the Gregorian calendar. The ancient Julian calendar was reformed in 1582 by Pope Edom Gregory of Rome. This calendar is known as the Gregorian calendar. The AD (Anno Domini) that is written at the end of the date according to this calendar is an acronym for Latin Anno Domini. This Ano Domini means in the year of the Lord. A Christian pastor named Dionysium Acmeguus introduced the writing system in the year 532, calculating the year of the birth of Jesus Christ in the Julian calendar.
New Year's celebrations officially began in the 19th century. The day before the new year i.e. 31st December is New Year's Eve. On this day, with the arrival of the new year, a festive atmosphere prevails in different countries of the world. In many countries, New Year's Day is celebrated as a public holiday. The insanity of celebrating the New Year starts from one minute at 12 midnight on 31st December every year. The light of fireworks spread in the sky. In the modern world, International New Year's Day has become a universal tradition.
Jamshid, the mighty emperor of ancient Persia, introduced the New Year in 600 BC. Later, the English Emperor Julius Caesar of Babylon introduced the English New Year in 48 BC. In the beginning New Year was celebrated on different dates. In our country the English or Gregorian calendar which the British Bania East Indian Company imposed on us the yoke of slavery by thwarting our independence, this British introduced this calendar in their country Great Britain in 1851 AD. Wherever they have established their colonies, they have imposed their dress, education, administrative structure, culture as well as their calendar, they have become lords and made the natives the most obedient servant.
