Old New Year 2023 completes the series of holidays that will begin the year of the Blue Water Tiger. And even though this celebration is unofficial, there are also many interesting traditions associated with it that should not be forgotten. As, for example, the custom of congratulating on the New Year according to 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, Russia used the Julian calendar, while European countries used the more accurate Gregorian. This led to various inconveniences and curiosities in everyday life. For example, it could turn out that a letter in France was received a few days earlier than it was sent in Russia, if you look at the dates on the postmarks. To facilitate international communication, a new calendar 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 according to the new style, as they were forced to observe the Christmas fast. And so the Old New Year appeared.
Perhaps it will surprise manythis fact, but the Old New Year exists not only in the territory of the post-Soviet space. People dress up in masquerade costumes, arrange carnivals and folk festivals, wish each other a Happy New Year and in other countries.
