New Year's story

For a long time, the ancient Slavs celebrated the New Year on March 1. They gave us the tradition of lighting the lights on the trees. With the adoption of Christianity, the New Year began to be celebrated on September 1.

More than 300 years ago, in 1700, Tsar Peter I ordered to celebrate the New Year on January 1. At the same time, a tradition arose to decorate Christmas trees, arrange fireworks and New Year's fancy-dress carnivals.
