  The Babylonians held a festival in spring,on March 23, to kick off the next farming cycle.The Babylonian celebration lasted for l l days.

  The date January l was picked by the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar as the change of the year when he established his own calendar in 4 6 BC.The month of January was named after the Roman god,Janus(雅努斯).He is pictured with two heads.0ne head looks forward and the other back.They represent a break between the old and new.That new calendar was in time with the sun and it has been used until the present Day.

  Around the world,different cultures have their own traditions for welcoming the.New Year.The Japanese hang straw rope across the front of their houses to keep out evil spirits and bring happiness and good luck.They also have a good laugh as the year begins to get things started on a lucky note.
