New Years Day

New Year’s Day is celebrated on January 1 and marks the beginning of the Gregorian calendar year. It’s a time for parties, fireworks, and resolutions to start the year anew. Fun fact: On New Year’s Day in Brazil, which is a national holiday, fishermen in certain coastal regions pay tribute to Iemanjá, the African goddess of the oceans. They sail out to sea with offerings that are believed to determine the success or failure of the catch for the upcoming year.
