Introducing the Year of the Ox

January

The Lunar New Year is being celebrated in Asia and the world over. Here are AP photos from a celebration in Rome …

Bali …

… and Canada.

A local celebration was scheduled for Jan. 17 at White Plains High School, and another is coming up at the Rockland Chinese School in Tappan.

If you are new to this tradition and would like to partake, see Judith Hausman’s article about the symbolism of food at the holiday and some recipes to try.
