New Year's Day is also the eighth day after Christmas. On this day Jesus was officially named and circumcised according to Jewish law. The feast was formerly known as the Feast of the Circumcision.
The Collect of the Feast of The Holy Name
Eternal Father, who didst give to thine incarnate Son the holy name of Jesus to be the sign of our salvation: Plant in every heart, we beseech thee, the love of him who is the Savior of the world, even our Lord Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
