First sunrise
The first sunrise refers to the custom of observing the first sunrise of the year. Such a custom may be just an observation of the sunrise on a special day (such as visiting Caroline Island in Kiribati), or has a religious meaning for those who worship the Sun, such as the followers of traditional religions in Korea, Japan, Mongolia, Polynesia and Micronesia and the Inuit, Yupik, Aleut, Chukchi, the Iñupiat, the Koryaks, the Dolgans, the Yakuts and other groups in the Arctic Circle and Siberia, for praying for good luck.
