Prior to that, the Roman calendar, which began in March, had 355 days. When Julius Caesar took over as dictator of Rome, he altered the calendar. He made January 1 the first day of the year in part to honour Janus, the Roman deity of beginnings, whose two faces gave him the capacity to see both the past and the future.However, it was not extensively adopted in Europe until the middle of the 16th century CE. With the growth of Christianity, December 25—the day of Jesus' birth—became acceptable, while January 1—the start of the new year—became heathen. It wasn't widely accepted until Pope Gregory changed the Julian calendar and declared January 1 to be the first day of the year.Prayer Meet For PM Modi's Mother Hiraben At Vadnagar In Gujarat On Jan 1: According to her family members, a prayer meeting will be held on Sunday in remembrance of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's mother Hiraben in the PM's birthplace of Vadnagar in Gujarat.Hiraben died at the age of 99 in Ahmedabad early Friday morning.She is survived by five sons, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his brothers Somabhai, Amrutbhai, Prahladbhai, and Pankajbhai, as well as her daughter Vasantiben.According to an advertisement published in a Gujarati newspaper on Saturday, Hiraben Damodardas Modi's "besnu," or prayer meeting, will be conducted at Vadnagar in Mehsana district on January 1 between 9 a.m. and noon.Hiraben died while receiving treatment at U N Mehta Heart Hospital.
