New Year's Day is the first day of the year, in the Gregorian calendar, falling exactly one week after Christmas

Day of the

previous year.

In modern times, it is January 1. In most countries, it is a holiday.

Julian calendar,

which includes followers of some

of the Eastern Orthodox churches, and is celebrated

on January 14 of the Gregorian calendar due to differences between the two calendars.
