Old New Year 2014 date, the history of the holiday and traditions, rituals

Old New Year - a kind of national heritage to be proud of. In any language of the world is no longer such a "combination of incongruous." This tradition dates back to the Soviet era, and still in the former CIS January 14 celebrate, not marked on the calendar.

History of Old New Year holiday   (when the mark, date, number)

Old New Year 2014 will be celebrated on the night of 13 to 14 of January.

The holiday came as a result of the change of chronology after the October Revolution. The new government has conducted many reforms did not go unnoticed, and calendar.

January 24, 1918 by the Council of People's Commissars approved the "Decree on the introduction of the Russian republic of West-European calendar," which is February 1, 1918 Mr. came into force.

Thus, it shifted to 14 calendar days. European countries have long lived in the Gregorian calendar, named after Pope Gregory XIII, and Russia - Julian (on behalf of Julius Caesar).

The old style of chronology was wrong from the standpoint of scientific astronomy, which was offered to fix in 1582 Gregory XIII. Inaccuracy was that was incorrectly determined the average length of the calendar year.

In the Gregorian calendar, it is equal to 365 days of 2425 (in the Julian less than 26 sec.). This difference is accumulated and to the XX century was 13 days.

Therefore, 1 January and the new style was the 14th number. Modern night from 13 to 14 January, respectively, before the revolution was the New Year's night. That is why the celebration of the Old New Year, a correlation with the historical past, the reference to its roots.

Russia has been from time immemorial an Orthodox country, and Christian holidays are celebrated still on the Julian calendar.

For believers Old New Year - a special celebration, because to fully enjoy the holiday, they can only after the end of Advent, after 7 January, and New Year's Eve December 31, January 1, accounted for the most severe time of the ban on meat, dairy food and entertainment .

However, the difference between the calendars continues to accumulate, and in 2101 and orthodox Christmas will fall on January 8, and Old New Year will be celebrated on the night of 14 to 15 of January.

The Old New Year 2014 can repeat a favorite holiday - television channels duplicate holiday concerts and transmission.

The traditions of the Old New Year rites

In the old days, the calendar day on January 13-14 was Vasiliev day when celebrated the feast of agriculture. On this day, a ceremony was conducted obsevaniya for a successful future harvest - the second name of the holiday "Avsenev."

Everywhere had their rites, scattered around the house wheat, prayed for a good harvest. The day was fun, with dancing and singing.

At night in a special oven cooked porridge. If a pot of porridge ready get full, nourishing porridge, then expect a happy year and ate cereal in the morning. If you mess get out or cracked pot, then waited for the bad, and porridge were thrown into a well.

From there went conviction "as the year of meet - and to snuff," in which faith in the modern world, seeking to collect a rich table and have fun at glory.
