New Year |
| |
The
New Year celebration is the oldest of all holidays
and it was first observed in ancient Babylon
about 4000 years ago. In the years around 2000
BC, the Babylonian
New Year began with the first
New Moon (actually the first
visible crescent) after the Vernal
Equinox (first day of spring) and the celebrations
were lasted for eleven days. In ancient
Egypt, New Year was celebrated near the
end of September when River Nile flooded. For
many years the Romans celebrated
New Year on the first of March.
Traditionally, the day has been observed as a
religious feast, but in modern times the arrival
of the New Year has also become an occasion for
spirited celebration and the making of personal
New Year resolutions, parades and additional sporting
events. There are often Fire
works at midnight. Depending on the country,
individuals may be allowed to burn fireworks,
even if it is forbidden the rest of the year.
In allmost all countries that use the Gregorian
calender, (with the exception like Israel)
New Year's Day is a Public Holiday.
New Year day is an occasion of universal
celebration. It is the time to hope best
from the coming year. People reflect upon their
past and rectify all their mistakes. It is observed
with same spirit and enthusiasm in most of the
countries. The time and celebration of New Year
varies from region and religion across the world.
