This New Year s Eve, at the turning of the year, you may catch a glimpse of the old year, a cartoon figure of a hunched old man with a sickle, Father Time. Did you know that this is in fact a pope? December 31 was in the old calendar the feast of St. Sylvester. Legend says that Sylvester healed the Emperor Constantine of leprosy, and presided at the liturgy of baptism for the grateful emperor. In 314, he was chosen pope, and it fell to him to organize the peacetime church, free at last from persecution. He founded the Lateran Basilica, the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome. In northern Europe Sylvester Night is a time of great parties with eating, dancing, and singing recalling perhaps the joy of the church in the fresh air of Sylvester s papacy. In Poland, there was great fear as the year 1000 approached that an immense dragon would devour the earth and set fire to the heavens. The people prayed earnestly to St. Sylvester, trusting that the saint would not permit such suffering on his feast day. They ve been celebrating ever since! Many New Year s customs have pagan roots, like the British First Footer tradition. The idea is that the first person setting foot into your house in the new year determines the luck for the year ahead. The ideal first footer was not a bit like old Pope Sylvester, but rather a tall, darkhaired man carrying the right gift. A handsome first footer meant the year ahead would be pleasant, and if he carried bread or a shovel of coal there would be food and warmth in the future. Who will be your household s first footer? Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. W czasie Sylwestra, gdy zmienia się rok, możesz czasem zauważyć stary rok pod postacią kreskówkowego zgarbionego starca z sierpem - to Staruszek Czas. Czy wiesz, że w rzeczywistości jest to postać papieża? 31 grudnia był w starym kalendarzu świętem Św. Sylwestra. Legenda mówi, że Sylwester uzdrowił z trądu cesarza Konstantyna i przewodniczył liturgii chrzcielnej dla wdzięcznego władcy. W 314 roku został on wybrany papieżem i przypadło mu w udziale zorganizować w czasie pokoju Kościół, wreszcie wolny od prześladowań. Ufundował on Bazylikę na Lateranie czyli katedrę Diecezji Rzymskiej. W północnej Europie Noc Sylwestrowa jest czasem wielkich przyjęć połączonych z jedzeniem, tańcami i śpiewem - przypominających być może, radość Kościoła ze świeżego powiewu jakim był pontyfikat papieża Sylwestra. W Polsce, gdy zbliżał się rok 1000, zapanował wielki starch przed spodziewanym apokaliptycznym smokiem, który miał pożreć ziemię i zapalić niebiosa. Ludzie modlili się żarliwie do św. Sylwestra ufając, że święty nie dopuści do takiego cierpienia w dniu jego święta. Zaczęli zatem świętować od tamtej chwili. Wiele zwyczajów noworocznych ma pogańskie korzenie jak np. brytyjska tradycja pierwszej stopy. Chodzi mianowicie o to, że pierwsza osoba która postawi swoją stopę w Twoim domu w Nowym Roku decyduje o szczęściu na cały rok. Idealne byłoby aby pierwszy gość przekraczający Twoje progi nie był podobny ani trochę do starego papieża Sylwestra lecz by był to wysoki, ciemnowłosy mężczyzna niosący dobry prezent. Przystojny pierwszy gość oznaczał, że nadchodzący rok będzie przyjemny, a jeśli niósł chleb lub szuflę węgla oznaczało to, że tam w przyszłości będzie jedzenie i ciepło. Kto będzie pierwszym noworocznym gościem w Twoim domu?
