Pope Sylvester I
The last day of the year is named after Pope Sylvester I, who died on December 31, 335. Because he was venerated as a saint, the day of his death also became his name day. During the reign of Pope Sylvester, from 314 to 335, a fundamental change occurred in the relationship between the Roman State and the Christian Church. After the victory of Constantine the Great and the subsequent Edict of Toleration of 313, Christianity became free and the main religion, and the transition to a state policy favorable to Christians was started. After his death, Pope Sylvester I was buried in the Catacomb of Priscilla in Rome. Silvestre I. is the patron saint of domestic animals, as well as for a good forage harvest and a happy new year.
The widespread New Year’s wish “Happy New Year!” it has nothing to do with the word “slip” linguistically or symbolically, as the diocese of Gurk-Klagenfurt reported on Thursday. In fact, the word “slip” derives from the Hebrew word “rosh” which means “head” or “beginning”. The “Guterutsch” is a German language corruption of the Yiddish greeting “Gut Rosch”, referring to the Jewish New Year festival “Rosch Ha-Schana” (head = beginning of a new year), which is celebrated between September 5 and October 5th. With “Happy New Year” you wish a “good start” to the new year. New Year’s wish “Happy New Year!” derives from Latin. “Cheers” means translated “may you succeed”.
