THE NEWBERRY SUN
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 27, 1966
Long Ago, Man
Began Celebrating
New Year
The Japanese have always used
holly in decorating for the New
Year celebration. It is an old
belief that “the prick of the
thorns on the leaves would scare
away devils.” The emperor’s first
bath, Hatsumizy, taken early New
Year morning, was called a “reli
gious rite of cleansing and purifi
cation performed by the ruler to
bring peace and prosperity to
Japan and his people.”
Long before history was re
corded, the Persians discovered
sugar cane and made sweetmeats
an important part of their New
Year celebration. These pagan
Persians also xpade human sacri
fices on the eve of the New Year in
the belief that their barren fields
would be fertilized by the gods.
It was custom in ancient China
to make visits shortly after the
New Year had begun. Hilarity
reigned in old India and Babylon,
where celebration of the New
Year was a wild affair.

GREETINGS . . . Actress Lucy
Marlowe strikes this fetching
pose as she lifts a horn to salute
the incoming year and remind
everyone that another holiday is
on the way.
New Year Celebration
Dates to Ancient Times
The history of the celebration
of New Year’s day goes far back
into antiquity and it is only in
relatively recent times that the
holiday has been observed on
January 1.
The ancient Persians and Egyp
tians celebrated New Year’s on
September 22, the autumnal equi
nox, while the Greeks did so at the
winter solstice, December 21. The
vernal equinox, March 22, marked
the beginning of the year for the
Jews.
New Year’s day has always been
celebrated in the United States and
from Colonial times to the present
it has been a day of happiness and
hospitality.

WHO’S HAPPY? . . . Most ev
erybody, it seems, but happiest
of all is this young gentleman
who, we suppose, represents the
bright, new hope offered by the
new year of 1957.
