New Year

All good things for humankind, plants and animals

Our forebears originally celebrated the beginning of the new year on 6 January. From the middle of the 4th century the celebration of Christmas and New Year was combined, with joint festivities on 25 December. It was only at the end of the 17th century that the beginning of the year was designated as 1 January.

The New Year customs and practices of our ancestors were linked to acts of magic, which supposedly served to promote health and good fortune, fertility and everything good for people and their natural environment, covering the plant and animal kingdoms. This understanding of the beginning of the new year and the purpose of celebrating it was not just a facet of rural folk, but also of urban areas. All of this became enshrined relatively slowly in the iconography of idyllic representations of popular animals (foxes and bears with cubs), which would exchange New Year gifts around a decorated spruce tree.
