why do you think the meeting with the Green Knight takes place on New Year's Day?

Important Symbols\n\n    * The Green Knight is holding a holly bob. Holly, an evergreen, is a pagan symbol used by Christians to celebrate Christmas. An evergreen was brought into the house on the winter solstice as a sign that greenery, i.e. spring, will come again. In this context, the holly bob is used by the Green Knight as a symbol of his peaceful intentions.\n    * That the story begins on Christmas and ends on New Year’s is also significant. As holy days, they are a symbol of the portentous nature of the actions that are taking place.\n    * The Green Knight himself is a symbol. With every article of clothing, skin, and hair colored green, he is reminiscent of a fertility god, perhaps related to wall paintings of The Green Man still found today in English churches.

December 30th\n\nThis means the third day before (ante diem) the Kalends (1st) of January.  The Romans counted the day itself when calculating dates, so the first of January is day one, December 31st is day two, and December 30th is day three.

Its the fourth Thursday in the month of November.  The number date changes every year.  This year its the 23rd.  It falls on that day every 7 years.  I know this because its my sons bday and he was not born on Thanksgiving.  He was born 3 days before back in 1980

There is no reason it cannot be on another day. We made the calendar, and we named the days. Whatever day it should be cannot be determined unless God opens up the sky and yells out "The sabath should be on this day!" Conclusion:We don't know when it should be, so we put it on sunday.

Actually, its a myth that a Roman emporer set the date of Christmas.  Early Christian Churches celebrated the nativity during every month of the year, depending upon where you lived.  Both Rome and Antioch used December 25th.  There is a good argument that they chose the date to overtake the existing celebration Natalis Invicti.  It is unlikely connected to the Jewish feast of Dedication which at the time was a December feast.\n\nThe whole Church gradually adjusted its readings of scripture to place the nativity readings on December 25 and the Epiphany readings on January 6th.  This was done due to the fact that both Rome and Antioch are most ancient churches.  Additionally, Jerusalem used a different date but wrote to the bishop of Rome asking him to go to the tax office to see when the census was.  We have no reply from the Pope but shortly thereafter, Jerusalem changed its celebration to December 25.  The earliest mention of Christmas was in passing by Clement of Alexandria in the year 200.  It was celebrated either on May 20 or April 20 depending on where you were in Egypt.\n\nIt is important to understand the role of feasts like Christmas in both the early and the current Catholic calendar.  The goal of the Church is to proclaim all of the scriptures throughout the year.  As such, you can either read them in order, or order them according to important events that require contemplation.  The Church does a mixture of both.  It reads all the bible in the public proclaimation of scripture, but it also takes some passages, such as the Easter Passages and remove them from their proper order to allow people to prepare for Easter with readings and to celebrate Easter properly.  What you are seeing in the early dates was their cycle of reading scripture.

To me, that would mean the 17th.  The 10th would be "this Friday" or just "Friday."

It's a symbol of bonding, security and love for one another.\nWe do it here in Scotland on a grand scale at New Year when we sing auld lang syne.\n\nKinship.

Its supposed to be the feast day of St. Valentine, an early martyr of the church.  I think it was Caligula who abolished the institute of marriage and Valentine felt obligated to marry people who were willing to question authority.\n\nThe modern CELEBRATION of Valentine's Day is an abomination brought about by the Corporate powers of Hallmark who noticed a sharp decline in sales between Christmas and Easter.  Their decision: to market an unrecognized feast day and the rest is history.

Not for sure, but probably at the beginning of the new year. That's usually when new laws take effect.

Keep in mind, this was in the times of ancient Rome.  The times were different back then, they used diff days, not as many, and the rulers adjusted the calendars as they pleased.  Translating from then to now is difficult.  But we celebrate it as close to the day we believe it happened as possible.\n-Duo

January is the first month of the year. It has 31 days.\n\nJanuary is named for Janus, the Roman god of doors and gateways.\n\nJanuary and February were put on the calendar after all the other months. This is because in the original Roman calendar, Winter did not have months. Although March was originally the first month, January became the new first month because that was when people chose the new consuls (Roman leaders).\n\nIn English we call the first day of January "New Year's Day". In some countries it has the name of the saint Sylvester.
