Soon it will be March 20 and the first day of Spring, and I have always thought that March 21 was the first day of Spring. Why does Spring begin March 20th this year? What river is dyed every year on March 17th for St. Patrick's Day? In Ancient Roman times, the year began with March, which explains why September to December are called that (the names translate as Seventh, Eighth, Ninth and Tenth). But at another stage in Roman history, January was the start of the year and it was named after the god of Doorways Ianuarius because it was the doorway to the new year. At what point did the year change from 1 March to 1 January? I have often read that in the Middle Ages in Britain (and elsewhere), New Year was celebrated on March 25th. Does this mean that the number of the year actually changed on that date, and if not, was there another name given to the date on which the year number actually changed?
