Although New Years has been celebrated all over the world since decades before Christ, it hasn’t always been on January first. In England, for example, prior to its adoption of the Gregorian calendar as late as the 18^th century, the first day of the new year was recognized as March 25, corresponding with the Feast of the Annunciation, also known as “Lady Day.” When Pope Gregory designed the Liturgical calendar, the new year was set to begin eight days after Christ’s date of birth, December 25.
