Edit a custom page in wordpress

Question

I am using a wordpress theme. The default homepage is the latest posts. In my theme its the home.php which is the content of the default homepage. Now i want to have a static homepage and blog page. I have created a new page called "Home" and set it as homepage. So the previous default homepage content is not coming up in my new Home page. My question is how can i add those default homepage content to this new Home page ? I dont want to change the page.php template as it would change all the pages then. I want to change this particular "Home" page and set it as homepage with the previous default homepage content. Can someone help me please ?

Here is default homepage code

<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if ( get_option('modest_quote') == 'on' ) { ?>
    <div id="quote">
        <p id="quote-1"><span class="tagline-quote">&ldquo;</span><?php echo get_option('modest_quote_one'); ?><span class="tagline-quote">&rdquo;</span></p>
        <p id="quote-2"><?php echo get_option('modest_quote_two'); ?></p>
    </div> <!-- end #quote -->
<?php } ?>

<?php if ( get_option('modest_featured') == 'on' ) get_template_part('includes/featured'); ?>

<?php if ( get_option('modest_blog_style') == 'false' ){ ?>
    <div id="blurbs" class="clearfix">
        <?php 
            $blurbs_number = get_option('modest_use_third_page') == 'on' ? 3 : 2;
            if ( get_option('modest_use_third_page') == 'on' ) $blurbs_number = 3; 
        ?>
        <?php for ($i=1; $i <= $blurbs_number; $i++) { ?>
            <?php query_posts('page_id=' . get_pageId(html_entity_decode(get_option('modest_home_page_'.$i)))); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                <?php 
                    global $more; $more = 0;
                ?>
                <div class="blurb<?php if ( $i == 3 ) echo ' last'; ?>">
                    <h3 class="title"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
                    <?php the_content(''); ?>
                </div> <!-- end .blurb -->
            <?php endwhile; wp_reset_query(); ?>
        <?php } ?>

        <?php if ( $blurbs_number == 2 ) { ?>
            <div class="blurb last">
                <h3 class="title"><?php esc_html_e('Examples of Our Work','Modest'); ?></h3>
                <?php query_posts("showposts=".get_option('modest_work_number')."&cat=".get_cat_ID(get_option('modest_work_cat')));
                    if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
                        <?php 
                        $width = 56;
                        $height = 56;
                        $titletext = get_the_title();

                        $thumbnail = get_thumbnail($width,$height,'item-image',$titletext,$titletext,true,'Work');
                        $thumb = $thumbnail["thumb"];
                        $fancybox_title = get_post_meta($post->ID,'Customtitle',true) ? get_post_meta($post->ID,'Customtitle',true) : get_the_title(); ?>
                        <div class="thumb">
                            <a rel="gallery" title="<?php echo esc_attr($fancybox_title); ?>" href="<?php echo esc_attr($thumbnail['fullpath']); ?>" class="fancybox">
                                <?php print_thumbnail($thumb, $thumbnail["use_timthumb"], $titletext, $width, $height, 'item-image'); ?>
                                <span class="overlay"></span>
                                <span class="zoom-icon"></span>
                            </a>
                        </div>  <!-- end .thumb -->
                    <?php 
                    endwhile; endif; 
                wp_reset_query(); ?>
            </div> <!-- end .blurb -->
        <?php } ?>
    </div> <!-- end #blurbs -->
<?php } else { ?>
    <div id="left-area">
        <?php get_template_part('includes/entry','home'); ?>
    </div>  <!-- end #left-area -->
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php } ?>

If all you want is to change the name of the "home" page, which is "index.php", maybe one Directoryindex directive at .htaccess will do it. — Felipe Alameda A
