Religious new year

The New Year is a celebration that has come to stay and has been accepted by almost all cultures and religions. The origin of New Year celebration date back hundred of years, in history. The first New Year celebration were performed by pagans to honor their gods for guidance, blessings and harvest for a full year and to beseech that increase blessings be showered o the next year. This New Year celebration was filled with pagan religious rites to honor their gods.

Over the years the celebration has been borrowed by other religions. Based on the Gregorian calendar which is mainly accepted in the world today the 1st of January is generally accepted to be the first day of the New Year. Some religions do not honor this date and follow their own religious calendar and celebrate New Year on a different date. Buddhism and Judaism is a very good example of religions who do not accept 1st of January as the first day of the year. Some religions have their own calendar and method of counting time and dates that they still follow. Ethiopia for example is country with a totally different date counting system and is not even on the same year as the conventional calendar.

You could even just send these off on their own, because they deliver the message as they are. Pictures tell thousands of words, and you don't have to say anything in the email except, "Dear John..." and "Hope we see you there" with the picture in between. Although New Year clip art is already available and they are just pictures, what you do with them is entirely up to you. Don't be surprised if you get someone asking for the link to the web site where you found the art.

Maybe, the clip art will only be enjoyed for a few weeks before New Year's and on that day to send a friend or family member best wishes, but the best part is that they are there and they are useful.

It adds so much color and fun to any email or even to your own collection of clip art in your Windows folder. There you can store it among your Valentine's Day clip art and old Christmas day clip art, because you would never know: next year new one's will come out with even better designs and messages. At least you will be able to say that you have a few classic ones that are your favorite. Soon, clip art becomes like old pennies, because they are not available anymore because new ones took their place. It makes them valuable to you and fun to browse through before realizing how everything changes.
