*WHEN IS HAPPY NEW YEAR?*
*January 1st?*
In the current world,
there are six principal calendars in current use. These are the Gregorian, Jewish, Islamic, Indian, Chinese, and Julian Calendars. These calendars replicate astronomical cycles according to fixed rules. Each of them, there's a specific time they celebrate a new year differently.
I'm going to quote 3 amongst the 6; that are:-
*JULIAN, GREGORIAN & JEWISH CALENDARS*
*Julian calendar*
Julian calendar, also called Old Style calendar, dating system established by Julius Caesar as a reform of the Roman republican calendar.
The Julian calendar, proposed by Roman consul Julius Caesar in 46 BC, was a reform of the Roman calendar. It took effect on 1 January 45 BC, by edict.
The calendar became the predominant calendar in the Roman Empire and subsequently most of the Western world for more than 1,600 years until 1582, when Pope Gregory XIII promulgated a minor modification to reduce the average length of the year from 365.25 days to 365.2425 days and thus corrected the Julian calendar's drift against the solar year. Worldwide adoption of this revised calendar, which became known as the Gregorian calendar, took place over the subsequent centuries, first in Catholic countries and subsequently in Protestant countries of the Western Christian world.
The Julian calendar is still used in parts of the Eastern Orthodox Church and in parts of Oriental Orthodoxy as well as by the Berbers.
Initially Julian calendar had only 10 month:-
1. Martius (March) 31 days
2. Aprilis (April) 29 days
3. Maius (May) 31 days
4. Lunius (June) 29 days
5. Quintilis or lulius (July) 31 days
6. Sextilis (August) 29 days
7. September 29 days
8. October 31 days
9. November 29 days
10. December 29 days
NB. In Julian calendar, new year was celebrated in March since it had no January & Feb.
*Gregorian calendar*
Founded by *CONSTATIN* & Pope *GREGORY* at the council of Nicea 325 AD. It's in Gregorian calendar 1st Esther holiday & Christmas were celebrated.
The Gregorian calendar is the calendar used in most parts of the world.[1][a] It was introduced in October 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII as a modification of, and replacement for, the Julian calendar. The principal change was to space leap years differently so as to make the average calendar year 365.2425 days long, more closely approximating the 365.2422-day 'tropical' or 'solar' year that is determined by the Earth's revolution around the Sun.
Roman ruler Numa Pompilius is credited with adding January at the beginning and February at the end of the calendar to create the 12-month year. In 452 bc, February was moved between January and March. By the 1st century bc, the Roman calendar had become hopelessly confused.
We 12 months in Gregorian calendar called after Romans gods
*1. JANUARY*
Who was Janus?
In ancient Roman culture, Jānus was a god of doorways, beginnings, and the rising and setting of the sun. His name comes from the Latin jānus, meaning “doorway, archway, arcade.” the God had 2 faces, thus means he can see far back & front
*2. FEBRUARY*
February comes from the Latin word februa, which means “to cleanse.” The month was named after the Roman Februalia, which was a month-long festival of purification and atonement that took place this time of year. See all the month names. Did you know: February is the only month to have a length of fewer than 30 days!
*3. March*
March” is named for the Roman god of war, Mars. However, we think of it as the beginning of spring, as March brings the vernal equinox, the Full Worm Moon and the return of Daylight Saving Time!
*4. April*
It comes from the classical Latin Aprīlis and may come from the Etruscan apru, meaning “Aphrodite,” the Greek goddess of love and beauty. If April is named after Aphrodite, it is one of only a few months to be named after a Greek god. Many more months were named after Roman gods.
*5. May*
Named for the Roman goddess Maia, who oversaw the growth of plants. Also from the Latin word maiores, “elders,” who were celebrated during this month. Maia was considered a nurturer and an earth goddess, which may explain the connection with this springtime month.
*6. JUNE*
The first is that the month is named after the Roman goddess Juno, the goddess of marriage and the wife of the supreme deity Jupiter; the second is that the name comes from the Latin word iuniores, meaning "younger ones", as opposed to maiores ("elders") for which the preceding month May (Maius) may be named.
*7. JULY*
Named to honor Roman dictator Julius Caesar (100 B.C.– 44 B.C.) after his death. In 46 B.C., Julius Caesar made one of his greatest contributions to history: With the help of Sosigenes, he developed the Julian calendar, the precursor to the Gregorian calendar we use today.
*8. AUGUST*
the Roman Senate honored Augustus Caesar, the first Roman emperor, by changing the name of their month Sextilis to Augustus.
*9. September*
It means Seven. In Julian calendar we had only 10 months & September was the 7th
*10. OCTOBER*
October, 10th month of the Gregorian calendar. Its name is derived from octo, Latin for “eight,” an indication of its position in the early Roman calendar
*11. NOVEMBER*
word, “November”, is derived from the Latin word “novem” meaning “nine” because it was the ninth month of the Roman calendar
*12 DECEMBER*
Answer. It comes from the Latin word decem, meaning ten, because this had been the tenth month of an early Roman calendar.
In Gregorian calendar 1st January is celebrated as new year.
*JEWISH (BIBLE CALENDAR)*
Very simple; founded & introduced by *ELOHIM (LORD) CREATER*
It started here Exodus 12:2. This month shall be unto you beginning of months. It shall be the first month of the year to you.
There's 12 months in Jewish calendar:-
1. Nissan (Abib) Esther 3:7, Deut 16:1
2. 1Kings 6:1, 37
3. Sivan (Siwan) Esther 8:9
4. Tamuuz (fourth month)
5. Ab Ezra 7:8
6. Luke 1:26
7. Ethanim (Tishri) 1King 8:2
8. Bul (Heshvan) 1Kings 6:38
9. Chislev (Chisleu) Nehemiah 1:1
10. Tebeth Esther 2:16
11. Shebat Zechariah 1:7
12. Adar Esther 3:13, 3:7,9:1 Ezra 6:15.
The great difference between bible (Jewish) calendar & the others is that name to Jewish calendar were named by our Creator while Romans calendar after their gods. The Jewish calendar, new year is celebrated in the month of Abib (Nisan) as bible states.
*Conclusion*
It's not Elohim's will for January 1st to be celebrated as happy new year; it's not biblical but the way of men.
