From fireworks lit in Sydney to khom loy paper lanterns released in the sky in Thailand, the New Year is heralded across the world with a variety of traditions. In Greece, one of the most cherished customs is cutting the vasilopita — the “good luck cake” baked exclusively to usher in the New Year.

What makes this cake so special? Nestled within the dough is a hidden coin (called flouri) – a token of fortune, love, and health for the lucky person who finds it in their slice. Vasilopita translates as “Sweet Bread of Basil” and is a tribute to Saint Basil, the bishop of Caesarea in Cappadocia (modern-day Turkey), revered by the Greeks for his generosity.

The 12 grapes tradition has found its way to many Latin American and Caribbean countries where cultural ties to Spain have kept the ritual alive and thriving. Read about it here. 

The first time January 1 came to be considered as the beginning of the new year was back in 45 BCE. The Roman calendar before that began in the month of March and consisted of 355 days. An additional 27-day or 28-day intercalary month would sometimes be inserted between February and March.

It was Roman dictator Julius Caesar who reformed the calendar soon after coming to power in the late first century BCE. But even as the Julian calendar gained popularity, large parts of Europe did not accept it till well into the mid-16th century CE. With the advent of Christianity, January 1 as the beginning of a new year was seen as pagan, while December 25, with its religious connotations regarding the birth of Jesus, was considered more acceptable.

Embrace the joy, the truth, the strife,
And find eternity in a single life.'
