Here are two great Lunar New Year Cards sent from a wonderful friend in Vietnam... They are commemorating the "Year of The Goat" beginning on 19th February 2015. This is the period of TET in Vietnam's New Year.
TET : or Vietnamese New Year is the most important celebration in Vietnamese Culture. The word is a shortened form of the Term: " Tet Nguyen Dan" which is (Sino Vietnamese ) for "Feast of the First Morning of the First Day " Tet celebrates the arrival of Spring based on the Vietnamese variation of the Chinese Lunisolar calendar which usually has the date falling between January and February.. Tet is usually celebrated on the same day as Chinese New Year except when the one hour time difference between Vietnam and China results in New Moon occuring on different days.Tet is also a big occasion for pilgrims and and family reunions Tet is the time to visit relatives and Temples.
Tet is considered to be the first day of Spring and the Festival is often called Hoi Xuan (spring festival ).. Thank you so much Trang for these lovely Lunar New Year cards and beautiful stamps that you have got especially for me ..Cam on..
