London Sightseeing Mini Coach Company. Saturday, January 13, 2007. New Year New You? Have you ever asked yourself about the origin of our " New Year’s Resolutions. In the Middle Ages, Christians changed New Year's Day to December 25, the birth of Jesus. Then they changed it to March 25, a holiday called the Annunciation. In the sixteenth century, Pope Gregory XIII revised the Julian calendar, and the celebration of the New Year was returned to January 1. Posted by Londons Premier Tour Operator @ 3:30 PM.

London Sightseeing Mini Coach Company. Tuesday, October 31, 2006. It’s the 31st October. Where did Halloween come from? The word itself, "Halloween," has its origins in the Catholic Church. It comes from a contracted corruption of All Hallows Eve. November 1, "All Hollows Day", is a Catholic day of observance in honor of saints. But, in the 5th century BC, in Celtic Ireland, summer officially ended on October 31. The holiday was called Samhain (sow-en), the Celtic New year. In which children dress up in.
