Chinese New Year, or Lunar New Year, is celebrated in several parts of Asia and marks the beginning of the new year according to the traditional Chinese lunar calendar. This year, the holiday is celebrated on February 19, and marks the beginning of the Year of the Goat in the Chinese zodiac.
The Goat is the eighth symbol of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. Those born in 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, and 2003 are born under the sign of the goat.
In some parts of Asia, Lunar New Year is celebrated with parades and lantern festivals, but is also a time for family gatherings and a communal meal. The holiday is also a time to wish peace, prosperity and health for others and to look forward to the coming year.
