welcome

Welcome to 2015, Did you know that -

The first time the new year was celebrated on January 1 was in Rome in 153 B.C (the month of January did not exist until around 700 B.C when the second king of Rome Nu ma Pontilius added the month of January and February)

In the medieval Europe,the celebrations of new year in January 1 was considered pagan and unchristian-like and in 567 the council of Tours abolished January 1 as the beginning of the year.

In 1582 the Gregorian calendar reform restored January 1 as the new year’s day. Although most catholic countries adopted the Gregorian calendar almost immediately, the protestants adopted it gradually.
