New Year's day is the time at which a new calendar year begins and the calendar's year count is incremented. The New Year of the Gregorian calendar, today in worldwide use, falls on 1 January, as was the case with the Roman calendar. It was only relatively recently that 1 January again became the first day of the new year in Western culture. Until 1751 in England and Wales (and all British dominions) the New Year started on 25 March – Lady Day, one of the four quarter days (the change to 1 January took place in 1600 in Scotland). Since then, 1 January has been the first day of the new year and celebrated as New Year's day. During the Middle Ages several other days were variously taken as New Year's day with the calendar year beginning on 1 March, 25 March, Easter, 1 September, 25 December .
