Did you know that the “new year” wasn’t always celebrated on January 1? Why did that change? Every culture around the world celebrates a different day for the New Year, but when was this changed in modern history? More importantly, why did Pope Gregory XIII make the change to switch to the Gregorian calendar? The secret reason why will not only shock you, but also make you wonder why we don’t go back to the original way. Did our year once upon a time actually have 13 months? Astrological calendars still seem to follow the original calendar, with the year ending in March under Pisces and the year beginning in April with Aries. Speaking of April, that brings up April Fools Day, April 1. Since some people still celebrated April 1 as the new year, they were considered “fools.”
Join Ben and Rob on this Friday Night Live as they reveal the secrets of the new year calendar, plus more. Have you heard the deathbed confession of a witness of the Shag Harbor UFO incident? The famous 1967 encounter in Canada had even the navy looking for a downed UFO craft. Then there’s the security camera that captured a real goblin or alien in Argentina; a cursed painting of a child strikes again; and a lost, ancient realm found that had been home to nearly 500,000 people. In this FNL, don’t miss the Top 10 Weirder News of the Week, where Mickey Mouse is now a serial killer, a mysterious cemetery is unearthed in Wales, and a 13 year old boy is the first person to ever beat Tetris. Don’t miss the “Dig Deep” live Q&A where Ben and Rob answer questions from the Rise.TV live chat.
