New Year's Day, also called simply New Year's or New Year, is observed on January 1, the first day of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar as well as the Julian calendar. In pre-Christian Rome under the Julian calendar, the day was dedicated to Janus, god of gateways and beginnings, for whom January is also named.
I like what you said the day was dedicated to --- the God of gateways and beginnings. -- I especially like the beginners part. I'm a little weary about the gateways part though. Thanks for this post though!
However those witch are Pagan have another date completely - with the 'New' year relating to the turn of Winter to Spring A Calendar Year is a good measuring point in reference to historical dates - however 'the wheel is a circle ....'
