|
WHEREAS, Many Asian American residents of the Lone Star State |
|
|
are celebrating the joyous occasion of the Lunar New Year on January |
|
|
22, 2023; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, This special holiday marks the commencement of the |
|
|
Year of the Rabbit and ushers in the spring season, a new beginning, |
|
|
when the Asian community reflects on the past and makes plans for |
|
|
the future; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year, known as Tet in the Vietnamese |
|
|
community, as Seollal in the Korean community, and as the Spring |
|
|
Festival in the Chinese and Taiwanese communities, begins on the |
|
|
first day of the first lunar month of the year; the exact date |
|
|
changes annually, falling between the end of January and the middle |
|
|
of February, but the festive spirit of the season remains constant; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The eve of the holiday's three-day festival is spent |
|
|
cleaning houses, visiting ancestral graves, and preparing a |
|
|
ceremonial meal; the Lunar New Year traditionally serves as a time |
|
|
to reunite with family members, renew special friendships, and |
|
|
remember past experiences, in preparation for good things to come; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Asian community plays a vital role in the |
|
|
business, professional, and cultural life of Texas, and the Lunar |
|
|
New Year provides a fitting opportunity to recognize these fine |
|
|
citizens and to celebrate our common goals of peace and harmony for |
|
|
all humanity; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 88th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the Lunar New Year on January 22, |
|
|
2023, and extend to all who are celebrating the holiday sincere best |
|
|
wishes for health and happiness in the coming year. |
