A little about Lunar New Year
Chinese New Year, also known as Lunar New Year or Spring Festival, can be traced back approximately 3,500 years ago and is one of the most significant festivals in Chinese and East Asian cultures to celebrate the start of a new year. The years are marked in cycles of 12, with each year represented by a rotation of animals based on the tale of a “Great Race” of animals by the Jade Emperor.
This year, Lunar New Year falls on January 28th, 2025 making it the Year of the Snake, symbolizing wisdom, transformation, and introspection.
