NEW YEAR: The date of the New Year and the customs related to this celebration vary from country to country.  The World Book Encyclopedia (1984) explains:

“The Romans dedicated this day [January 1] to JANUS, the god of gates and beginnings. The month of January is named after JANUS; This one had two faces, one facing forward, the other facing back” — The World Book Encyclopedia (1984), tome XXIV, p. 237.

A Georgian Orthodox Monk Speaks Out:

“The New Year’s holiday originates with a number of pagan holidays from ancient Rome. The 1st of January was a holiday dedicated to the pagan god Janus, and the name of the month comes from his name. Images of Janus had two faces on opposite sides, which meant that he saw both the past and the present. There was a saying that whoever greeted January 1st with fun, laughter, and plenty would pass the entire year in happiness and well-being. The very same superstition accompanies the celebrating of the new year for many of our compatriots . . . During certain pagan holidays, people would directly bring sacrifices to an idol. Some were notorious for immoral orgies, adultery, and fornication. On other occasions, for example during the Janus holiday, there were excesses in eating and drinking, drunkenness, and every sort of uncleanness that accompanies them. If we remember how we ourselves in times past have celebrated New Year’s, then we must admit that all of us have participated in this pagan celebration.”​—A Georgian newspaper.

What do you think? Is it important to dig into history to find out the origins of the holidays that we celebrate today? Of course, my point of view is that we should be interested in the origins of the holidays and celebrations that today’s world blindly celebrates.

Great times,

    Consumers in this region are also focused on preventing aging and hair loss.

Skin hydration is also a particular beauty concern in Asian markets, reflecting local beauty standards. According to data from the Edited report, UK H&M’s assortment of beauty products increased by a staggering 94.8% from 2018 to 2019.
