New Year's Eve in the world: when are they celebrated?

 

What determines the New Year's Eve date

The first day of the Gregorian calendar, January 1, falls on the same day as New Year's Day in the majority of the world's nations. And although while these times are followed by the majority of people, this is certainly not the case for everyone. In actuality, a people's culture and religion both affect the timing of New Year's Eve.

a Jewish holiday

Rosh ahShana, the Jewish New Year, is often observed in September. It will take place from September 15 to 17 in 2023. The religious New Year, on the other hand, falls in the month of Abib, the first month in which Easter was established; Rosh ahShana is the civil New Year.
