AI Summary
This resolution recognizes the cultural and historical significance of Lunar New Year in 2026, acknowledging that it is a holiday based on a lunisolar calendar, beginning with the second new moon after the winter solstice and lasting for 15 days, culminating in the Lantern Festival. It notes that Lunar New Year, also known as Spring Festival in many Asian countries, has origins in China over 4,000 years ago and is widely celebrated across East and Southeast Asia, as well as by communities like Koreans (Seollal) and Vietnamese (T?t). The resolution highlights that the Asian diaspora has made Lunar New Year a global event, celebrated by millions of Asian Americans and others in the United States with community activities, cultural performances, and family reunions, traditionally serving as a time to wish for good fortune, health, prosperity, and happiness.
