About New Year's Day
January 1 has marked the start of the year in the Roman calendar since 153 BC, and the Julian and Gregorian reforms kept it. The month is named after Janus, the Roman god of doorways and beginnings, who looks both forwards and backwards.
Most countries now use the Gregorian calendar for civil purposes, so New Year's Day is the most widely shared public holiday on earth, even in countries that also keep a traditional lunar or religious new year.
In 2027 it falls on a Friday. This countdown runs to the first moment of January 1 in the time zone you choose, so the figure matches the calendar day on your wall.
