HISTORIQUE DU NOUVEL AN
En 46 avant Jésus-Christ, l’empereur Jules César instaure un calendrier qui porte son nom: le calendrier julien. Il
est divisé en douze mois et 365 jours. Le premier jour de l’année était fixé au premier mars (mois du dieu de la
guerre). Nos derniers mois actuels gardent d’ailleurs encore dans leurs noms la trace de cet ancien ;nouvel an,
puisqu’ils s’appellent octobre qui signifie (octo, huitième), novembre (neuvième) et décembre (dixième) alors qu’ls
sont désormais les dixième, onzième et douzième mois. Quant au découpage de l’année en douze mois, il avait
fait l’objet de nombreux compromis. Pas question en effet que juillet, le mois des Julius c’est-à-dire de la famille
de Jules César, compte moins de jours que les autres! Pas question non plus que ce puisse être le cas pour août
(qui vient de Augustus, le titre donné à Jules César) ni bien sûr pour le mois du dieu Mars, etc. Finalement, on se
retrouve avec deux mois de 31 jours côte à côte l’été, deux aussi l’hiver, et un tout petit février de 28 jours. En 532,
l’Église décide de compter les années à partir du 1er janvier qui a suivi la naissance du Christ, fixée au 25 décem-
bre 753 de l’an de Rome. Le 1 er janvier ne devient pas pour autant de façon absolue le point de départ de l’an-
née: dans certains pays, on prend Pâques, anniversaire de la résurrection du Christ, comme date dunouvel an. Or,
Pâques est une date mobile correspondant à la première nuit de samedi à dimanche après la pleine lune de
printemps. C’est en 1564, par l’édit de Roussillon de Charles IX, que le 1er janvier devient le point de départ ob-
ligatoire de chaque nouvelle année. Une mesure qui prend effet le 1er janvier 1567. En 1582, un nouveau calen-
drier, dit grégorien, du nom du papeGrégoire XIII qui l’a institué, rajoute des années bissextiles pour toutes les an-
nées divisibles par 4 afin de réajuster le calendrier julien à la réalité solaire. L’année 1582 compte dix jours de
moins pour rattraper le décalage. Le nouvel an est maintenu le 1 er janvier. C’est ce calendrier qui est toujours en
vigueur aujourd’hui.
