New Year is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count is incremented. In many cultures, the event is celebrated in some manner.[1] The New Year of the Gregorian calendar, today in worldwide use, falls on 1 January, as was the case with the Roman calendar. There are numerous calendars that remain in regional use that calculate the New Year differently.
The order of months in the Roman calendar was January to December since King Numa Pompilius in about 700 BC, according to Plutarch and Macrobius. According to Catholic tradition, 1 January is the day of the circumcision of Jesus (on the eighth day from his birth), when the name of Jesus was given to him (Luke 2:21).
It was only relatively recently that 1 January again became the first day of the year in Western culture. Until 1751 in England and Wales (and all British dominions) the new year started on 25 March – Lady Day, one of the four quarter days (the change to 1 January took place in 1600 in Scotland).[2] Since then, 1 January has been the first day of the year. During the Middle Ages several other days were variously taken as the beginning of the calendar year (1 March, 25 March, Easter, 1 September, 25 December).[citation needed][where?] In many countries, such as the Czech Republic, Italy and the UK, 1 January is a national holiday.
For information about the changeover from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar and the effect on the dating of historical events etc., see Old Style and New Style dates.
With the expansion of Western culture to many other places in the world during recent centuries, the Gregorian calendar has been adopted by many other countries as the official calendar, and the 1 January date of New Year has become global, even in countries with their own New Year celebrations on other days (such as China and India). In the culture of Latin America there are a variety of traditions and superstitions surrounding these dates[clarification needed] as omens for the coming year. The most common modern dates of celebration are listed below, ordered and grouped by their appearance relative to the conventional Western calendar.

Well thank you for that, that was lovely--but what's your problem???-- nobody comes here without a problem. You're on the right track from a TMS perspective that you haven't mentioned anything structurally except for Jesus's circumcision. From a Freudian perspective, which does have TMS implications, this may have some roots to early penis envy, but that may be a stretch, though a short one. I never thought of Jesus being circumcised, but now that you mention it, since he was a rabbi that makes perfect sense, maybe one of the wise men was a moyal.
Here at the TMS site we do our best to stay away from white-coats with sharp knives. We prefer a mindfulness approach, short of trepanation. I'm glad March 25, Lady Day, is no longer the New Year because that would be too close to my birthday of March 18, and that would cut into my annual haul of gifts. On the tennis courts, everyday is Lady day.
Thanks for the nice NY post and if you ever have a TMS problem please feel free to return. The only thing I would fault you on from a TMS perspective, would be overly obsessed with the TMS calendar effect--"healing is gradual--very, very gradual". |
