Why we celebrate Orthodox New Year?

In 1582 some European countries switched to the Gregorian calendar. According to him, the Orthodox New Year is celebrated on January 14th. According to the old, Julian calendar, the holiday falls on January 1st. Some Orthodox churches still use the Julian calendar.

Daily Orthodox New Year falls on different days of the Gregorian calendar. It’s known that the holiday will be celebrated on January 14 in the period between 1901-2100. But later it will shift in time, if we use the Julian calendar, which was revised by many countries of the world in 1923.

Some Orthodox churches are guided by the new Julian calendar, and some work on a more traditional version, which has the original dates of Christian rites before the introduction of the Gregorian calendar. The Orthodox New Year is different from the beginning of the Orthodox liturgical calendar (from September 1).

What Do People Do?

The holiday is celebrated with family. In the evening, children and adults launch fireworks, participate in music and other contests, and visit friends and family. Some churches hold Orthodox New Year events: prayers, special ceremonies.

How to Celebrate?

The Orthodox New Year is not a federal public holiday in the United States, but in some countries of the world it’s a regional or national holiday. On this day, many firms don’t work. In Georgia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, as well as other states, the Orthodox New Year is celebrated only by certain districts or by religious groups.
