"New Year"
           Generally, every one in this world will celebrate New Year irrespective of their Gender, Religion and Culture.

Have you ever thought that why we celebrate New Year's day on January 1? 

Now i am going to give a brief about it.

For the first time in history New Year is celebrated on January 1 was in 45 B.C., as the Julian calendar takes effect. As Julius Cesar became the dictator of Rome, he decided that traditional Roman calendar is in dire need to reform, which was introduced around 7th century B.C.. The roman Calendar follows Lunar Cycle, so it has only 10 months beginning with March and is reflected in some of the names of the months September through December, our ninth through twelfth months were positioned as the seventh through tenth months (Septem is latin for "seven", Octo, "eight", Novem, "nine", Decm, "ten"). So the New Year was celebrated in March 1 during roman calendar  existence. Later Julius Cesar introduced Julian Calendar which has 12 months started with January named after the god of Gateways and Beginnings "Janus" and ends with December.

The Julian calendar was designed on the basis of solar cycle which was advised by an Alexandrian astronomer. The year was calculated to be 365 and 1/4 days and Cesar added 67 days to 45 B.C. (follows Roman calendar) to 46 B.C. (follows Julian calendar), begin on January 1 rather than March 1. He also prescribed that every four years a day will be added to February. The Julian Calendar did not observe the New Year exactly on January 1, the reason was failure of Cesar and Sosigenes calculation of solar cycle. The exact value was 365.242199 days, but they calculated for 365.25 days. The error of 11 minute a year added 7 days by the year 1000 and 10 days by the mid 15th century.

The roman church came to aware of this error and in 1570s pope Gregory XIII ordered Jesuit astronomer Christopher Clavius to reform the Julian calendar. in 1582 Gregorian calendar was implemented by excluding the 10 days in that year and Initiate the new rule that only one of every four centinnel years should be a leap year. Later entire the world was following the Gregorian calendar till now.

Which Country celebrates New Year first and last?

Tonga rang a tiny Pacific island welcomed 2018 first, after travelling through entire the world the Baker island and Howland island finishes it off.

Once again i wish you all a happy and prosperous New Year. I wish every day of this year will glow your journey with cheer and Success.
