Every New Year brings with it fresh energy and a renewed spirit. New Year is the best time to inspire ourselves with resolutions, wishes. Let us share the happiness and hopes New Year brings us from different sides and enjoy the new blessings together.

Happy New Year History of Celebrations

From ancient to modern civilization, the basis for celebrating the New Year event has varied. Let us make a comparison of the old and contemporary calendars and how the New Year celebrations evolved with time.

New Year History of Ancient Civilizations:

You will be surprised to know that the concept of New Year celebrations dates back to 4,000 years ago when the ancient Babylonians would give sacrifices and feasts following the Vernal Equinox. The event they celebrated was called ‘Akitu’ which marked the beginning of spring, and the festival would last as long as 11 days while performing different rituals.

However, unlike the modern calendar, many civilizations started either started their New Year calendar following an astronomical event or an agricultural one. One of the prime examples of that would be ancient Egyptians who started their calendar and celebrated New Year during the flooding of the river Nile.

The Modern Calendar and New Year Celebrations History:

The history of the New Year celebrations and the modern-day calendar is quite impressive. Significant changes were made during the reign of the Roman Empire, primarily by Julius Caesar who added 90 days in the Roman Calendar to align it with the sun. After this act, we got the new Julian Calendar which solved a big issue followed by the addition of January and February in the calendar.

For example, when the Roman Emperor King Numa Pompilius added these two months in the calendar, it soon ran out of sync with the sun. Julius Caesar tried to solve the problem after consulting the famous mathematicians and astronomist of that time. His calendar variation is the closest that we have to our modern-day Gregorian Calendar.

Due to the changes made by Julius Caesar, January 1 became the first day of the year which continued to this date. Even the Roman New Year Celebrations are almost the same as we do today, such as exchanging gifts and decorations. However, they also offered sacrifices for the Roman god Janus, after whom they named the month, January.

History of New Year Traditions:

Romans are said to be founders of modern civilization. They formed a tradition that still has a massive influence on modern-day celebrations. Some of the famous practices such as New Year Firework, New Year Gifts, and New Year Parties were held during those times as well.

In many countries, New Year’s celebrations begin on the evening of December 31—New Year’s Eve—and continue into the early hours of January 1. Revelers often enjoy meals and snacks thought to bestow good luck for the coming year.

In Spain and several other Spanish-speaking countries, people bolt down a dozen grapes-symbolizing their hopes for the months ahead-right before midnight. In many parts of the world, traditional New Year’s dishes feature legumes, which are thought to resemble coins and herald future financial success; examples include lentils in Italy and black-eyed peas in the southern United States.
