New year 2018 Wallpaper

New Year is the time at which a begins and the calendar's year count increments by one. Many cultures celebrate the event in some manner. Today mostly in use, falls on 1 January, as was the case both in the old Roman (at least after about 713 BCE) and in the Julian that succeeded it. The order of months was January to December in the Old calendar during the reign of King Numa Pompilius in about 700 BCE, according to Plutarch and Macrobius, and has been in continuous use since that time. Many countries, such as the Czech Republic, Italy, French, and the United States national holiday.

The earliest recorded festivities in honor of a new year’s arrival date back some 4,000 years to ancient Babylon. For the Babylonians, the first new moon following the vernal equinox - the day in late March with an equal amount of sunlight and darkness - heralded the start of a new year. They marked the occasion with a massive religious festival called Akitu (derived from the Sumerian word for barley, which was cut in the spring) that involved a different ritual on each of its 11 days. Atiku celebrated the mythical victory of the Babylonian sky god Marduk over the evil sea goddess Tiamat and served an important political purpose: It was during this time that a new king was crowned or that the current ruler’s divine mandate was symbolically renewed. In many countries, New Year’s celebrations begin on the evening of December 31- New Year’s Eve - and continue into the early hours of January 1. Revelers often enjoy meals and snacks thought to bestow good luck for the coming year.

The expansion of Western culture during recent centuries has seen such widespread official adoption of the Gregorian calendar that its recognition and that of January 1 as the New Year has become virtually global. (Note for example the New Year celebrations held in Dubai to mark the start of 2014, which broke the world record for the most fireworks set off in a single display, lasting for six minutes and including the use of over 500,000 fireworks.)
