Lunar New Year in the Vietnamese tradition and regional customs with Ginger R. Davis, PhD.
2025 is the year of the “wood snake.” The “wood” represents the strength to progress towards goals while maintaining harmony with one's surroundings, and the “snake” has long been considered a symbol of fertility and vitality. Please join us for a lecture with Ginger R. Davis, PhD, and discuss Lunar New Year in the Vietnamese tradition and other global customs. Dr. Davis will share recipes, decorating, and history for this festive time!
