“The Lunar New Year celebration fits squarely within America’s great cultural traditions. It is a time to prepare for a fresh start while honoring the past. ... It is an occasion to welcome good luck and prosperity,” said Ronald A. Stroman, a member of the USPS Board of Governors, who served as the stamp ceremony’s dedicating official.

He was joined by Michelle Yun, vice president of global artistic programs and director of the Asia Society Museum, and Anne del Castillo, commissioner of the New York City Mayor’s Office of Media and Entertainment.

“Lunar New Year is a time when Asians and Asian Americans honor their cultural heritage and traditions, and this stamp series celebrates their prominence and influence on U.S. history and culture,” del Castillo said.

The Year of the Tiger begins Feb. 1, 2022 and ends Jan. 21, 2023.

The tiger is the third of the 12 zodiac animal signs associated with the Chinese lunar calendar. Many ancient fables and legends explain the origin of the zodiac signs. The most common story tells of the animals racing across a river to determine their order in the cycle. The rat crossed by riding on the back of the ox, jumping ahead at the last minute to win the race. Next came the ox, then the tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, ram, monkey, rooster and dog, followed by the boar in last place.

As with other zodiac signs, personality traits and other attributes are often associated with people born in the year of a particular animal.

Those born during the Year of the Tiger may be seen as brave, confident and well-liked by others. Blue, orange and gray are lucky colors for tigers, and yellow lilies and cineraria may also bring good luck. Other predictions about important milestones in life are often made based on a person’s zodiac animal sign, including romantic compatibility, career trajectory and health prospects.

Lunar New Year is one of the most important holidays of the year for many Asian communities around the world, including in the United States, China, Vietnam, South Korea and Singapore. Across these varied cultures, many traditions exist for ringing in a new year of good luck and prosperity.

Known as Tet in Vietnam and the Spring Festival in China and elsewhere, Lunar New Year begins on the second new moon after the winter solstice and historically marks the arrival of spring. Filled with symbolic meaning, the colors red and gold appear everywhere during this auspicious time of year. Red is considered very lucky, while gold is supposed to bring wealth.

In the first few days of the new year, parades and pageants are common with dancers, acrobats and musicians. The festivities also mark a major occasion for folk artists making paper-cut crafts for celebration.

Lunar New Year celebrations culminate on the night of the first full moon after New Year’s Eve, known as the Lantern Festival in Chinese culture. In the United States and elsewhere, the festival is marked with grand parades and brilliant lanterns decorating public spaces.

In observance of this holiday, the U.S. Postal Service introduced its third series of Lunar New Year stamps in 2020. This new series will continue through 2031 with stamps for the Year of the Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Boar still to come.

Art director Antonio Alcalá worked on the series of stamps with artist Camille Chew to create Lunar New Year imagery that is fresh, fun and celebratory. Calling to mind the elaborately decorated masks used in the dragon or lion dances often performed during Lunar New Year parades, Chew’s three-dimensional masks are a contemporary take on the long tradition of paper-cut folk art crafts created during this auspicious time of year.

Best lip balm I have ever used.
By far the best lip balm you will ever buy. When I say I am addicted to Chapstick/lip balm it's an understatement. I don't just have one kind, in one place. I have multiple kinds (you never know what you're feeling or need) in every place! Like my cars chapstick has a chapstick family. I have been trying to pay attention to ingredients lately and realize how many awful chemicals are in most of the products I use. So...here we are, woke up after sleeping with a fan in my face and my lip was dry and cracked straight down the middle. Something so stupid caused so much discomfort I started immediately trying all the different brands, oils, balms, etc. Some burned, some made it worse, some did nothing. Two days of this nonsense and I decided to try this product. It was delivered the next day thank goodness because I was becoming so annoyed with the pain from a small cut. I instantly put the product on and my lip felt so much better. It lasts a very long time so it isn't drying back out and it isn't painful to reapply when needed. It's been less than 24 hours and my lip is almost better. I even slept with the fan on. This balm is amazing, made in the USA, comes in a huge tube unlike the other brands, costs is amazingly low, and it has no nasty smell at all! The only complaint I have would be my concern for my addiction to carry one in my pocket and due to the ingredients it will probably melt some but I will worry about that when I need to. Seriously, this stuff is so amazing I had to write this review. I don't know these people and I sure didn't get it for free. I will be purchasing more from them and sharing what a quality product it is. Just get it.

You will want more than one!
Nice size for lip balm, larger than small chapstick. It is smooth and hydrating. I have one handy in the office, my purse, bathroom, nightstand, etc. No commission here. Just love this product!

Great lip balm
I have had chapped lips for most of my adult life. This product has been the first product that I have used, where my lips are not cracked, peeling or dry. There is no smell or taste, very neutral. I had to use the balm frequently in the beginning, now maybe only several times a day. One tube last a long time I highly recommend this lip balm.
