No nation has ascribed SO much

there was a magical connection be.

To them New Years day was the day
of days. It was the anniversary OF
the founding Of the city of Rome.
which they considered the greatest
event in the worlds history. They
called the first month of the year
January in honor of Janus. the god
of doors and beginnings. (The world
still uses heather calendar) At
dawn of the new year the people,
robed in white, sacrificed elaborate Of.
ferings TO their gods, especially to
Janus. Fraternal greetings. benevo.
lent gifts and exchanges Of costly
presents marked the day. All evil.
speaking. quarrels or excuses were
for one day laid aside and the ideals
for nobler future were brought to
mind by parallels enacted in public
places. The soldiers renewed their
vows of loyalty TO Caesar and put on
