Completely everybody in this world celebrate new year eve, but only a few people know when, where, why and who set the date of the thirty first of December. All started at The Roman Empire, traditionally calendar consisted of 10 months and 304 days, with each new year beginning at the vernal equinox. It is considered that  it was created by Romulus, the founder of Rome. But it was completely inaccurate and did not coincide with the sun and seasons. Later, in 46 B.C., the Julius Caesar decided to solve the problem. He introduced the Julian calendar, which closely resembles the more modern Gregorian calendar that most countries around the world use today. Also Caesar Set The first of January as the first day of the year. The thing is that month, January is named in Honor of Janus, roman god of the beginnings. After decade of centuries Christians postponed New year to more religious 25th of December. But it was reestablished back on January 1 in 1582 by Roman Pope. That is the story of New Year date, now you know more about one of the most ancient celebration.
