The end of year around the world
After the joke that I spend the day on December 28 in Japan marks the end of the year on a date other than Spain, I find a sobering news that would not hold anything crazy Japan to year on a different date.
Via Infobae read a story in which he says that only 35% of the world celebrates the end of the year to 31 December. Here I put some excerpts from the news:
There are 2,100 million people who are governed by the Gregorian calendar, which sets this date as the beginning of a new cycle. The remaining 65%, among which include Jews, Muslims and Buddhists live by December 31 a day.
[...] The Jews for example, celebrated from 15 to 22 December the Hanukka.
[...] Muslims, about 1.5 billion raised in all, living 1427 and December 31 means nothing to them. Their parties are the conclusion of the last day of Hajj and Radamán governed by a lunar calendar and this will be the new moon in February.
For their part, will have their new Buddhist New Year with the new moon in February, although without the spectacular celebration that lives in the Christian world.
