Both the Roman Republican calendar and the Julian calendar marked January 1 as the beginning of the New Year. The day was chosen in part to honor Janus, the god of Roman origin and the name of the month. While medieval Christians tried to replace January 1 with dates of greater religious significance, Pope Gregory XIII created a revised calendar that officially established January 1 as the New Year in 1582. This date was gradually adopted in Europe and elsewhere; later it reached around the world without Christian customs.
