Happy Returns Of The Months

“Happy New Year” that greeting will be said and heard as the New Year approaches. But the day celebrated as New Year’s Day wasn’t always January 1.

During the Middle Age, New Year’s Day was celebrated among Christians usually on March 25 (Roman Calendar). After the adoption of the Gregorian calendar in 1582, the day was observed on the January 1. The Jewish New Year is the first day of Tishri, which falls some time in September or in early October. The Chinese New Year is between January 10 and February 19 of the Gregorian calendar.

The month of January is named for Janus. In Roman mythology, Thanks to Wikipedia for this photo (Bust of Janus, Vatican Museums) Janus was the god of gates, doors, doorways, beginnings and endings. He was known as Janus Geminus (twin Janus) with two faces looking in opposite directions. The first hour of the day, the first day of the month and the first month of the year bears his name.

Janus is symbolizing the god of change and transitions such as, the progression of past to future, of one condition and of one vision to another. And because Janus symbolizes them, the making of New Year’s resolutions had become a tradition of the season. People begin to think of what they would like to change for the next year. They make resolutions for everything they can think of. And of course, I also did it the same thing as well. Although I asked sometimes, “Kailangan bang hintayin pa natin ang pagpalit ng taon, kung may gusto tayong baguhin sa ating mga sarili?”

About Janus, he was also worshipped at the beginning of the harvest and planting times, as well as marriages, births and other beginnings. During his reign Janus was the first to announce the golden age. He introduced the important of money, laws and agriculture – that making him a culture hero.

In old Japan calendar, the month January is called Mutsuki. In Finnish it is called Tammikuu – meaning month of the oak. 

January 1 marks the end of a period of remembrance of the passing year for radio, television and newspapers. Publications have year-end articles that review the changes during the past year. The topics include politics, natural disasters, music, arts, the listing of significant individuals and those who died during the past year and many more.

Also January 1 for the Roman Catholic and Aglican churches is the feast day celebrating the circumcision of Jesus, who is believed by all Christians the Savior and the Redeemer of human race and the world.

As for me January is the beginning of the twelve months cycle… Happy returns of the months!

Thank you for your time. Happy New Year.

Ang Magsaya sa Pasko ay Walang Bayad

Oldest Xmas Tree

Thanks to (www.dailymail.co.uk) for this photo a 120-year-old-christmas-tree, the oldest in the world.

Sa t’wing darating ang araw ng pagsilang
Ni HesuKristo sa makipot na sabsaban
Para sa mga Krist’yano sa sanlibutan
Ito’y tanging araw ng pagmamahalan

Nilaan ng Dakilang D’yos sa kanila
Sa lahat ng taong Kaniyang nilikha
Dapat lang na Siya ay pasalamatan
Sa lahat ng oras, araw at panahon

Tuwing Pasko ang mga bata at matanda
Ay magpupugay sa Diyos na Maylikha
Upang sa Kaniya ay magpasalamat
Sa mga regalo na kanilang natanggap:

Kasama dito ang buhay na tahimik
Mga bagong laruan, sapatos at damit
Bigay ng kanilang mga Ninong at Ninang
Mga bagay-bagay na kanilang inasam

Nguni’t papaano ang mga taong mahirap
‘Di mabili ang kailangang pangsangkap
Wala silang makain at may mga sakit
Dahil sa lahat ng bagay sila’y salat?

Ako ay naniniwala na ang Pasko
Ay para sa mayayaman at mahirap
Ang magsaya sa’raw na’to’y walang bayad
Dasal ng pasasalamat ang katapat!

Kung tayo ay hirap dahil sa kawalan
Tuwing darating ang araw ng pagsilang
Huwag ikalungkot dapat ipagsaya
Hingin ang awa ng Diyos na Dakila!

MASAYANG PASKO PARA SA LAHAT

Dec 25

Christians believed that December 25 was the birth of Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary, the great High Priest, the founder of the Christian church and central figure of the human race.
isaacnewton

But December 25 was also the birth of Sir Isaac Newton in 1642. He was a genius that explained gravity. Isaac Newton's discoveries were so numerous and varied that many consider him to be the father of modern science. A graduate of Trinity College , Cambridge , Newton developed an intense interest in mathematics and the laws of nature which ultimately led to his two most famous works: Philosophiae Naturalis Principia Mathematica and Opticks.

Also it marked the death of some well-known and historical personalities such as, Pope Adrian 1 died on December 25, 795. He was a Roman, successor of Stephen IV. At Adrian 's urging, Charlemagne crossed the Alps and defeated the Lombard king, Desiderius, who had annexed papal territory. That defeat marked the end of the Lombard kingdom. Charlemagne, during the siege of Pavia , went to Rome , there confirmed the donation of Pepin to the Papal States , and joined additional provinces to it. Adrian in turn confirmed Charlemagne's title of patrician of the Romans, thereby acknowledging Charlemagne's protectorate over all Italy . Adrian supported Empress Irene in her struggle against iconoclasm, and he sent legates to the Second Council of Nicaea.

Karel Capek
, a Czech, author and inventor of the word robot had died on December 25, 1938. He was a playwright, novelist, and essayist. He was best known as the author of two brilliant satirical plays—R. U. R. (Rossum's Universal Robots,), which introduced the word robot into the English language, and The Insect Play, written with his brother Josef. He also wrote travel sketches, romances, essays, and short stories. Čapek's three philosophical novels, Hordubal, Meteor and An Ordinary Life are profound and even mystical in tone. Distinct from his other works, they constitute Čapek's masterpiece.

December 25 is the 359th day of the year. It is also the 360th day in leap years in Gregorian calendar. And it is the 300th day counting from March 1, every year.
In the Roman year, December is the 10th calendar month. Now, it is the 12th month of the year and it is one of seven Gregorian months with the length of 31 days. Astrologically the month begins in Sagittarius and ends in the sign of Capricorn. The December’s flower is the holly and its birthstone is turquoise.

In Old Japan Calendar, December is called Shiwasu. In Finnish it is called Joulukuu (month of Christmas) since about 18 century. Earlier it was called Talvikuu (month of winter). In Irish it is called Mi Na Nollag (the month of Christmas).

The Christmas tree, Christmas ham, Yule log, Holly, mistletoe and the giving of presents are the most familiar traditional practices and symbols of Christmas practiced by most Christians in Western countries and in Asia.

The Philippines is well known for the longest celebration of Christmas season in the world. During this period the children are visiting their godparents, the elderly, close relatives and sing beautiful Christmas songs in exchange of gifts and some amount of money. The “Simbang Gabi” starts on 16 December ‘til the 24th midnight though Christmas celebration is extended ‘til the day of the Three Kings. But the season starts as far back as September.

Because December is one of the most costly months of the year, those who can afford enjoy the extravagant shopping for the season. Unlike those who are less fortunate, they would have to think twice to buy even the cheaper one.

Thanks for your time. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

WellCome (Welcome) Note

First of all, thank you for your visit my would-be friends and the nice, thoughtful and inspiring comments that you would impart here, I will appreciate them very much. Welcome to WellCome. This is my new blog in webblog today.

About the word WellCome – I checked it out from Wikipedia and it’s a “name” of a Hong Kong’s longest-established supermarket chain founded in 1945 with an overall 5,000 staff.

The word Wellcome which I used as my blog title has another meaning and it’s too different from what Wikipedia has recorded.

Take time to read the description of my blog title - the meaning is blinking for your attention.

I will be happy to read your short messages before leaving my blogsite...Thank you, guys. See you around.
