History of the New Year Celebration The New Year celebration has its roots in ancient New Year celebrations. In many ancient cultures, people would say goodbye to the old year with joy and celebration and wish for a blessed new year. The New Year celebration in its modern form began in the 4th century AD in the Roman Empire. At that time, the people of the Roman Empire held a celebration on the last night of the year called the Winter Solstice. This celebration was accompanied by fireworks and joy.

In the 7th century AD, the Catholic Church approved the New Year celebration and linked it to the celebration of the birth of Christ. From then on, the New Year celebration became one of the most important celebrations for Christians. An interesting point is that after the New Year celebration was approved by the Catholic Church, in many countries, Christmas and New Year are celebrated on the same day; however, the nature of these two celebrations is different. Christmas is the birthday of Jesus Christ and is considered a religious celebration for Christians, but the New Year celebration is a universal celebration for all people in the world who use the Gregorian calendar. However, due to the temporal proximity of this celebration, many Christians around the world celebrate it simultaneously with Christmas. The virtual Christmas Istgah, with the help of twenty-one musicians and singers, performed a famous song “we wish you a merry Christmas”.

This tree is usually decorated with colorful lights, Christmas balls, and colored papers. The Christmas tree is a symbol of the birth of Christ and the light of faith.

Giving gifts is one of the most important parts of the New Year celebration and is done in all countries in some way. Children are usually waiting for Santa Claus’s gifts. Santa Claus is a fictional and famous character of the New Year who comes to children’s homes on this night and leaves gifts for them. Giving gifts is a sign of love and friendship. People eat special foods and drinks on New Year’s Eve. In some countries, eating grapes on New Year’s Eve is a sign of good luck. Grapes are a symbol of abundance and the sweetness of life.
