New Year's Day is observed on January 1, the first day
of the year on the modern Gregorian calendar as well as the Julian
calendar used in ancient Rome.
With most countries using the Gregorian
calendar as their main calendar, New Year's Day is the closest thing to
being the world's only truly global public holiday, often celebrated
with fireworks at the stroke of midnight as the new year starts.
January
1 on the Julian calendar currently corresponds to January 14 on the
Gregorian calendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the
Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day is a
postal holiday in the United States.
