Waiting for the Happy new year
~
Year to cover the happy new year is a celebration in which a culture celebrates the end of one year and next year marks the start of the count. Cultures that have an annual calendar all have New Year celebrations. New Year's Day in Indonesia fell on the 1st of January as Indonesia adopted the Gregorian calendar, just like the majority of countries in the world. New Year was first celebrated on January 1, 45 BC. [1] Not long after Julius Caesar was crowned as emperor of Rome, he decided to replace the traditional Roman calendar which had been created since the seventh century BC. In designing this new calendar, Julius Caesar, aided by Sosigenes, an astronomer from Alexandria, which suggested that the new calendar was created by following the revolution of the sun, as did the Egyptians. One year in the new calendar quarter is calculated as 365 days and Caesar added 67 days in the year 45 BC to 46 BC started on January 1. Caesar also ordered that every four years, one day added to February, which theoretically could avoid the aberrations in this new calendar. Not long before Caesar was killed in the year 44 BC, he changed the name of the month Quintilis to its name, namely Julius or July. Later, the name of the month Sextilis replaced with a substitute name Julius Caesar, Caesar Augustus, became August.
