Months of The Year
In the Middle Ages most European
countries used the Julian calendar and
observed New Year's day on March 25.
The Gregorian calendar came into use in
1852. Roman Catholic countries began to
celebrate New Year's Day on January 1st
at that time. However, Scotland did not
use the Gregorian calendar until 1600 and
Germany, Denmark, and Sweden began in
about 1700, England followed in 1752.
