March 15 was considered the start of the new year on the old Roman calendar, also known as the Julian calendar.
The Gregorian Calendar, which we use, marks January 1st as the beginning of the New Year.
The first month on the Jewish calendar is Tishri, which falls during September and October on the Gregorian calendar.
This is the celebration of Israel’s New Year on the first day of Tishri, which is a holy convocation and a memorial of the blowing of trumpets.
Today is Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, celebrated on Tishri 1 with the blowing of trumpets throughout the day.
Leviticus 23:23 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
Leviticus 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.
Leviticus 23:25 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
1 Corinthians 15:47 Ye shall do no servile work therein: but ye shall offer an offering made by fire unto the Lord.
I believe we’ll all be glad to welcome the new year with prayer, rejoicing, and hope that it will be better than the last.
