A comprehensive definition of the head of the Amazigh New Year:
If the Gregorian calendar has began with the birth of Christ peace be upon him, and the Islamic calendar has begun with the migration of the Prophet (SAW) from Mecca to Medina, the Calendar Amazigh had began with a historic event important is the King Amazigh victory "Heshung" the Pharaohs in the reign of Ramses Second, prior to the beginning of 950 years of use of the Gregorian calendar, as it was the Pharaohs before that date are organizing repeated attacks on the country's Amazigh to seize their property and looting their wealth.
The Calendar Amazigh among the oldest calendars used by humans throughout the ages, as used by Berbers since 2964 year, and unlike the Gregorian and Hijri, the Calendar Amazigh was not connected to any religious or devotional accident ... but was associated with a historic event, after their victory over the Pharaohs Amazigh consistently every year to celebrate the anniversary of this historic victory on victory and considered the head of every New Year. Some studies indicate that the Calendar Amazigh linked to nature, as it is considered some researchers that the first day of the Amazigh New Year is the day separates the two periods, the period of bitter cold and the period of moderation, as is the annual beginning of the real achievement of the works peasant (from here naming the first day of the Amazigh New Year with a Year peasant), and consider that the Amazigh celebrate the every year confirms the attachment to the land that Ahqoha always devoted to the private life of their understanding, it is noted that the common denominator between the various customs and rituals that are held during the New Year is linked to agricultural activities of the cultivation and planting of trees and the breeding of cattle, which This relationship reflects today the launching of the agricultural season, and to attend and be blessed Alastbashar season brings good peasants of goodness and prosperity for all.
Despite the lack of research and studies carried out on this subject and no matter what the origin of this interest, the Amazigh considered and still consider the head of each new Amazigh year days distinct in their lives, it represents the end of the stage and embark on a new stage hoping to be better than its predecessor. So routinely by the celebration of each new year, in the light of the Month "Eure yen", which falls on January 13 of the calendar year.Many Amazighs and continues across throughout Tamazgha (North Africa) celebrate Amazigh New Year, and became the appropriate opportunity for many civilian bodies in various types of cultural and recreational activities to organize ... and a chance to remind their positions and demands fair and legitimate, especially its demands basic of constitutional recognition Tamazight an official language and interest in Amazigh culture, history and civilizations, and in making the first day of each New Year (January 13 according to the Gregorian calendar) on a holiday for all this occasion because of the wealth of profound implications. It should be noted that this holiday has never received official recognition by the state, as is the case for the Islamic New Year and New Year's Day.
