WHEREAS, Many Texans are joining together with people around |
|
|
the world in celebration of the Lunar New Year on February 1, 2022; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year festival, which begins with the |
|
|
first new moon of the lunar calendar, is one of the most important |
|
|
religious and cultural holidays for people of Asian heritage; this |
|
|
year's festival marks the commencement of the Year of the Tiger and |
|
|
ushers in the spring season, a new beginning, when members of the |
|
|
Asian community reflect on the past and make plans for the future; |
|
|
and |
|
|
WHEREAS, The tiger, the third animal of the Chinese zodiac, |
|
|
symbolizes power, lordliness, and bravery; in ancient times, the |
|
|
tiger was associated with emperors and kings, and people who are |
|
|
born in the Year of the Tiger are said to be passionate, optimistic, |
|
|
and adventurous; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Members of the Asian community play a vital role in |
|
|
the business, professional, and cultural life of the Lone Star |
|
|
State, and the Lunar New Year is a fitting time to reflect on their |
|
|
many contributions as we share our hopes for a prosperous future; |
|
|
now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas |
|
|
Legislature hereby commemorate the Lunar New Year on February 1, |
|
|
2022, and extend to all who are celebrating the holiday sincere best |
|
|
wishes for health and happiness in the coming year. |
