Celebrate Lunar New Year With the Rose Inc Community

Lunar New Year, also known as Chinese New Year or Spring Festival, is a significant holiday celebrated by many cultures worldwide, including those of China, Vietnam, Korea and Singapore. It marks the first day of the lunar calendar, which falls annually on the second new moon after the winter solstice and is typically a time for family gatherings, traditional food and cultural activities. In 2023, Lunar New Year will begin on January 22 and will celebrate the Year of the Rabbit — the zodiac known for its multiple talents and affectionate nature, according to Chinese astrology.

As with many holidays, Lunar New Year celebrations can look a bit different across cultures and geographic locales. Regardless of the format of the celebrations, though, the spirit of Lunar New Year remains the same: It is a time to come together with loved ones, reflect on the past year and look forward to a new beginning. To celebrate, we checked in with three women from our inspiring community to learn how they’ll celebrate this year and how they continue to honor their rich heritages while fully immersed in western culture. Their thoughts, ahead.
