Old New Year's Day
The old year ends well.
When is Old New Year's Day?
Every year on January 14.
What is Old New Year's Day?
Old New Year on January 14 is New Year's Day according to the Julian calendar, which runs thirteen days behind the Gregorian calendar. It is still celebrated in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Serbia, North Macedonia, Montenegro and other countries where the Orthodox Church kept the old calendar. It is a quieter second New Year: families gather for another festive dinner, the Christmas tree stays up a little longer, and in Serbia people meet in town squares at midnight for concerts and fireworks.
How to celebrate
Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
