History records that New Years have been celebrated by Egyptians, Persians and people in many lands as early as 2000 BC. These celebrations were in months other than January.  After 153 BC, the official date was January 1 – the date that we now recognize as the first day of the New Year.

On December 31, 2006, millions will gather in houses of worship, thousands in Times Square and others in homes with friends, relatives and loved ones to say farewell to the old and welcome to the new.

The One Columbus Family prays that this New Year, like a new born child which is placed in our hands, will be nurtured and loved with kindness and respect, and as God’s gift to us, will be used for His service.

May your New Year be the best ever.
