So let's join hands and get prepared to walk together anew for another new path God has to offer on the New Year...

First day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar year. New Year’s Day is a public holiday in the US and in many other countries. Traditionally, New Year is a time of the personal stocktaking, for making resolutions for the coming year and sometimes for recovering from the festivities of New Year Eve. On the New Year, financial accounting begins anew for businesses and individuals whose fiscal year is the calendar year. New Year January 1 has been observed as the beginning of the year in most English-speaking countries since British Calendar Act of 1751, prior to which New Year began on March 25 (approximating the vernal equinox). Earth begins another orbit of the sun, during which it, and we, will travel some 583,416,000 miles in 365.2422 days. New Year’s Day has been called “Everyman’s Birthday”, and in some countries a year is added to everyone’s age on New Year - January 1, rather than on the anniversary of each person’s birth. New Year - the world’s most widely celebrated holiday.

Since people in different parts of the world use different calendars, the New Year is not always celebrated at the same time, nor in the same way. When different cultures created their New Year calendars long ago, some based them on the movement of the moon, while others based them on the position of the sun. Some cultures based their New Year calendar on qualities of both the sun and the moon. As a result, the New Year is celebrated differently around the world, and people do not necessarily share the same traditional beliefs.
