Background information
New Year’s Eve has origins dating back thousands of years to ancient civilizations. The Babylonians celebrated the new year over 4,000 years ago with a festival called Akitu, marking the spring equinox and symbolizing renewal and rebirth. In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar introduced the Julian calendar, shifting the new year from March to January 1st to honor Janus, the Roman god of beginnings and transitions, who was depicted with two faces looking to the past and the future.
Throughout history, people have marked New Year’s Eve with feasts, gatherings, and rituals reflecting on the past year and anticipating the future. The tradition of making New Year’s resolutions stems from ancient customs where individuals made promises to earn favor in the coming year. Despite variations across cultures and time periods, New Year’s Eve remains a universal time of reflection, renewal, and hope for what lies ahead.
