In the Western calendar it is the day after Halloween and the day before All Souls' Day.
In Western Christian theology, the d ay commemorates all those who have attained the beatific vision in Heaven. It is a national holiday in many historically Catholic countr ies. In the Catholic Church and many Anglican churches, the n ext day specifically commemorates the departed faithful who have not yet be en purif ied and reached heaven. Christians who celebrate All Saints' Day and Al l Souls' Day do so in the fundamental belief that there is a prayerful spir itual bond between those in purgatory (the 'Churc h Suffering'), those in heaven (the 'church triumphant'), and the living (the 'church mili tant'). Other Christian traditions define, remember and respond to the saints in different ways; for example, in the Met hodist Church, the word "saints" refers to all Christians a nd therefore, on All Saint's Day, the Church Univ ersal, as well as the deceased members of a local congregation, are honoured and remembered.[2][4]

One reason celebrations occur on Christmas Eve is because the t
raditional Christian liturgical day starts at sunset,[5] an inheritance from Jewish tradition,[6] which in tur
n is based in the story of creation in Genesis: "And there was evening, and
there was morning – the first day."[7] This liturgical day i
s followed for all days in the Eastern rite[8] and the cu
stom of beginning Christmas celebration (as well as Sunday and the other ma
jor festivals) in the preceding evening is preserved in western Churches th
at have altered the liturgical day to start at midnight, for example the Ro
man Catholic Church.[9] Many churches still ring
their church bells and hold prayers in the evening before holidays; for exa
mple the Nordic Lutheran churches.
Christmas or Christmas Day (Old English: Cr
9;stesmæsse, literally "Christ's mass") is an annual commemora
tion of the birth of Jesus Christ,[5][6
] celebrated generally on December 25[2][3][4] a
s a religious and cultural holiday by billions of peopl
e around the world. A feast central to the
Ch
ristian liturgical year, it closes the Advent season and initiates the twelve days of Christmastide.[7]<
/a> Christmas is a civil holiday in many of the world's nations,[8][9][10] is celebrated by an increasing number of non-Christians,[1][11][12] and is an integral part
of the Christmas and holiday season.
The precise year of Jesus' birth, which some histo
rians place between 7 and 2 BC, is unknown.[13]
In the Gregorian calendar, New Year's Eve<
/b>, the last day of the year, is on December 31. In many countries, New Ye
ar's Eve is celebrated at evening social gatherings, where many people danc
e, eat, drink alcoholic beverages, and
watch or light fireworks to mark the new year. Some people attend a w
atchnight service.
New Year traditions and celebrations in Canada vary regionally. New Year's Eve (also called New Year's Eve Day or Veille du Jour de l'An in French) is generally a soc ial holiday. In many cities there are large celebrations which may feature concerts, late-night partying, sporting events, and fireworks, with free pu blic transit service during peak party times in most major cities. In some areas, such as in rural Quebec, people ice fish and drink alcholic beverages with the ir friends until the early hours of January 1. [2]

January 1 on the J ulian calendar currently corresponds to January 14 on the Gregorian c alendar, and it is on that date that followers of some of the Eastern Orthodox churches celebrate the New Year. New Year's Day is a postal holiday in the United States.[1]
The Romans dedicated this day to Jan us, the god of gates, doors, and beginnings. After Julius Caesar reform ed the calendar in 46 BC and was subsequently murdered, the Roman Senate vo ted to deify him on the 1st January 42 BC < span>[2] in honor of his life and his institu tion of the new rationalized calendar.[3] The month originally owes its name to th e deity Janus, who had two faces, one looking forward and the other looking backward. This suggests that New Year's celebrations are founded on pagan traditions. Some have suggested this occurred in 153 BC, when it was stipulated that the two annual consuls (after whose names the years were identified) entered into off ice on that day, though no consensus exists on the matter.[4] Dates in March, coin ciding with the spring equinox, or commemorating the Annunciation of Jesus, along with a variety of Christian feast dates were used throughout the Middle Ages, though calendars often continued to display the months in columns runni ng from January to December.[citation needed]
