Holiday Still

New Year’s Day is the oldest
holiday that is still celebrated
among all the nations of the world,
Not only is it a great festive oc-
casion among the English spcak-
ing population, but also among the
Mexicans, Turks, Greeks, Chinese,
Japanese, Persians, Hawaitans' and
even the Russians.

Of course in many countries
the New Year does not begin on
the first of January, as some coun-
tries have a different calendar year,
But on whatever date New Year's
Day is celebrated the idea is the

New Year’s Day Oldest

Celebrated

same: that of goodwill and kindly
feeling toward our fellow men.

The origin of New Year's Day
celebrations is still a bit uncer-
tain but we do know that it was
already being celebrated 3,000
years before the Birth of Christ,
At that time the people of Baby-
lon kept a New Year festival which
they called ‘Zalmuk’ and their
rejoicing lasted for 11 or 12 days;
And in those days the people al-
ways put plenty of spirit and danc-
ing into celebrations,

Another thing we know about
New Year's Day is that the an-
cient Romans were the first to
celebrate it on Jan 1. Although the
old Roman calendar only had 10
months begining with March, they
eventually added the month of
February and later, the month of
January to their calendar.

As the feast of the pagan god = Ln

‘Janus’ was held on the first of
the Roman year they named the
first month after this god Janus
and called it January,

Later, when the Romans be-
came Christians after the coming
of Christ, the festival of New
Year was still kept to welcome in
a new year’s beginning, but above
all it was celebrated as a Feast
Day to honor the Christ child who
on the eighth Day after His Birth
was taken to be.'circumeized ac-
cording to the old Jewish Law and
so we have our first New Year's
Day on Jan, 1. ;
