The Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival, begins on 10 February
and marks the start of the Year of the Snake. It is a time to reflect on old
wisdom and relish the challenge of new beginnings; to honour one’s family and
community, and to look forward to a joyful and prosperous New Year.
The predominant colours of the fifteen-day long New Year celebration
are red, for good luck, and gold, for wealth and happiness. It is a spectacular
festival of sound, bright colours, and exotic flavours. I hope everyone will
take part in our celebrations here in Hall, and I encourage you to visit
Chinatown to experience some of the exciting events taking place there.
I wish everyone celebrating this special festival peace,
prosperity, and good health in 2013. May you realise your ambitions and all
your wishes be fulfilled.
Gung hay fat choy.
