Today marks the beginning of the Year of the Ox, the second symbol in
the Chinese Zodiac.
"I send my warmest wishes to people across Asia, in America, and
indeed around the world who are celebrating the Lunar New Year and
welcoming the Year of the Ox. As they gather with their families and
celebrate over meals, they welcome new beginnings and honor the
enduring wisdom of their ancestors.
"From the lion dances in San Francisco to festivals in Atlanta and
parades in New York City and Washington, D.C., Americans of Asian
descent carry on the vibrant traditions of their forefathers and
enrich America's cultural diversity. I wish all those celebrating the
New Year to be blessed with peace, prosperity, and good health."
