New Year's Day has not always been the first of January. Thousands of years ago,
the ancient Egyptian New Year was in the middle of June, when the River Nile
overflowed its banks.
Even today, the New Year of the Jews and Hindus is not when we celebrate it. In
fact in Anglo-Saxon England, New Year's Day was the twenty-fifth of December.
In Christian countries New Year has been celebrated on many different days.
When Pope Gregory X111, in 1582 A.D. caused the making of calendar which we
use today, January 1st was made New Year's Day because it had been so in
Ancient Rome.
In Ancient Rome this day was one given over to the worship of the god Janus,
