The current New Year is the time or day when a new calendar year starts and the year count increases by one. Numerous civilizations observe the day in some way. The new year begins on January 1 (New Year’s Day, which is preceded by New Year’s Eve) according to the Gregorian calendar, which is currently the most used calendar system. In both the old Julian calendar and the Roman calendar, this was also the first day of the year (after 153 BC).

Because they often (but not always) employ a lunar calendar or a lunisolar calendar, other civilizations commemorate their traditional or religious New Year’s Day in accordance with their own traditions. Among well-known examples are Chinese New Year, the Islamic New Year, Tamil New Year (Puthandu), and the Jewish New Year. India, Nepal, and other nations also observe New Year on dates that can be moved in the Gregorian calendar according to their own calendars.

While the Julian calendar was still in use during the Middle Ages in Western Europe, authorities shifted New Year’s Day to a variety of other dates, depending on the location, including March 1, March 25, Easter, September 1, and December 25. Since that time, a large number of national civil calendars, mostly in the Western World and elsewhere, have switched to utilizing January 1 as the sole set date for New Year’s Day.
