Pope Gregory Responsible
For January 1 Celebration
Pope Gregory, in 1582, instituted
the Gregorian calendar and thus
placed New Year’s day on January
1. During the Middle ages Eurooe
had observed it on March 25. All
countries did not adopt the 12-month
system at once, but,the Christian
world accepted it generally in 1752
when the British parliament finally
esUblished New Year’s day. Ancient
Persians and Egyptians celebrated
on September 22.
