The Pagan Origins of New Year's Day
New Year's Day celebrations have been practiced for thousands of years, dating back to ancient Babylon. The festival of Akitu marked the start of the new year and involved 11 days of rituals. In ancient Rome, New Year's Day was associated with the god Janus, who symbolized transitions and beginnings. The Roman calendar was later aligned with the sun, and January 1st was established as the first day of the year. Janus, the two-faced god, represented looking back at the past and forward to the future. The Romans celebrated with sacrifices, decorations, and exchanging gifts.
