about 4000 years ago. It was begun with the first

the first day of January but not all New Year celebrations
take place on the same day or in the same way! Sometimes

use different calendars. China and Israel keep a lunar
calendar. Some of the Eastern Orthodox churches
are celebrated on January 14 th of the Gregorian calendar

agricultural significance and the beginning of spring
is a logical time to start a new year. It is the season
of rebirth, of planting new crops, and of blossoming.
