New Year's Day marks the start of the calendar year according to the Gregorian calendar. In ancient Rome under the Julian calendar, the day was dedicated to Janus, the deity of gateways and beginnings. Across Christian Europe, the turn of the year was historically celebrated on several different dates, including March 1, March 25, and December 25, before the widespread adoption of 1 January as the civil standard.
Modern observations around the world include midnight fireworks displays, drone light shows, parades, church services, and the practice of making New Year's resolutions.
