Old New Year
The Old New Year is a unique holiday celebrated in several countries, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and Serbia. Its origins stem from the transition from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar, where January 1st in the old style corresponds to January 14th in the new style. This holiday combines both New Year's and Christmas traditions.
