Old New Year 2022 concludes the series of holidays, which will begin the year of the Blue Water Tiger. And even though this celebration is informal, many interesting traditions are also associated with it, which should not be forgotten. As, for example, the custom of congratulating on the New Year on the Julian calendar. About how this holiday appeared and what original congratulations can be made on this occasion.
How did the Old New Year begin?
Until 1918, the country used the Julian calendar, and the countries of Europe - the more accurate Gregorian. This led to various inconveniences and curiosities in everyday life. For example, it could happen that a letter in France was received several days earlier than it was sent, if you look at the dates on the postmarks. To facilitate international communication, a new chronology system was introduced on February 14, 1918.
The church did not accept such changes and continued to use the old calendar. Believers could not have fun in the New Year in the new style, as they were forced to observe the Christmas fast. This is how the Old New Year came about.
Perhaps many will be surprised by this fact, but the Old New Year exists not only on the territory of the post-Soviet space. People dress up in masquerade costumes, arrange carnivals and festivities, and wish each other a Happy New Year in other countries.
