Ancestor worship is a beautiful tradition of Vietnamese people on Tet holiday. All family members will gather together to worship, reminisce about their ancestors and wish good luck for a brand new year. During the first three days of the year, Vietnamese people wish good luck to each other and lucky money is given to children by older family members. These red envelopes embody the best wishes for children’s health and intelligence. First footing is a unique and meaningful tradition during Lunar New Year. Every Vietnamese family will choose someone with humour, generosity and elegance to be the first visitor. We believe that the first-foot represents how our next year will be. Lion dance was previously limited to sacred places temples, pagodas etc. Nowadays, it could be performed in public places for general audience. Lion dance is an exciting and joyful activity to welcome a happy and successful year.
