Origin of the new year

The origin of the new year comes from the Gregorian calendar created by Pope Gregory XIII in 1582. In this calendar, January 1 was proclaimed as the beginning of the year, and it is currently used in most countries of the world.​

The celebration of the New Year in Western cultures dates back to Roman times, when the day was dedicated to Janus, the two-faced god of transitions and beginnings: one face looking forward, the other looking back. The month of January is in honor of this God.

Immigrants from various countries believed that loud noises, such as firecrackers or gunfire, drove away the evil spirits of the previous year and ensured a new year free from evil. However, the noise made to announce the new year is still ingrained in the celebrations of the date, in the form of fireworks, whistles, noises, among others.

Differences between New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Eve

In addition to the fact that they are officially celebrated on different days, taking into account their origins, New Year’s Eve or New Year’s Eve means “end”, while New Year’s Eve alludes to the beginning.

At the same time, both days differ as in the early days rituals are performed to purge bad energies and leave behind some unwanted behavior patterns while in the new year they try to attract the things that people want for that new year period.
