Católica ou Protestante : Since pre-historic times in Europe, festivities (bonfires, offrerings) were marking the beginning of longer hours of daylight with fires and ritual. The Roman festival of Saturnalia lasted several days in December (gambling and offerings). Germanic tribes also celebrated mid-winter (drinking and rituals). The Bulgarian (with Koleduvane) and the Polish (with Gwiazdka) perpetuate this tradition. Jesus of Nazareth was probably born in springtime (Reformists favour autumn). But in the 4th century, December 25th was chosen for the celebration of his birth by Pope Julius I (Bishop Liberus is also mentioned in 354 A.D.). Thus, a Christian element was introduced in the long-established mid-winter festivals. Before 1582, the Papal States and other Italian city states celebrated New Year’s Day on Christmas Day.

Católica ou Protestante : The First Council of Nicaea (a gathering of bishops in the early days of Christianity) wanted to find a day to commemorate the crucifixion and resurrection of Christ. This commemoration had to be linked to Jewish holiday traditions, since the last supper of Christ was believed to be a Jewish Passover meal. But the Jewish calendar is based on lunar and solar cycles, so the Easter celebration had to follow the same calendar.

Cartões/Flores : As the story goes, in 1564, France was one of the first nations to make January 1 officially New Year's Day, instead of the last week of March which was previously observed. In 1582, the Pope followed suit. Those who went on celebrating April 1st were mocked. As the zodiacal sign was the fish, The French placed dead fish on the backs of one another. Traditions vary from country to country.

Cultura : Com a Escócia sendo famosa por seu amor e longa história de mitos e lendas, não é surpresa que uma criatura lendária como o unicórnio seja o animal nacional da Escócia. Os unicórnios estão ligados à Escócia há séculos. Embora o animal seja mitológico, os ideais que ele representa são o que o torna um animal nacional perfeito para a Escócia e porque, como esta besta orgulhosa, os escoceses lutariam para permanecer invicto. O unicórnio foi usado pela primeira vez no brasão de armas real escocês por Guilherme I no século XII. No século 15, quando o rei Jaime III estava no poder, moedas de ouro até apareciam com o unicórnio nelas. Quando a Escócia e a Inglaterra se uniram sob o reinado de Jaime VI da Escócia em 1603, o Scottish Royal Arms tinha dois unicórnios sustentando um escudo. Quando Jaime VI se tornou Jaime I da Inglaterra e da Irlanda, ele substituiu o unicórnio à esquerda do escudo pelo animal nacional da Inglaterra, o leão, para mostrar que os países estavam realmente unidos.
