Although there are many celebrations throughout the year, Tet or the Lunar New Year holiday is the most important celebration for Vietnamese people. Tet is a festival which occurs in late January or early February. It is a time for families to clean and decorate their homes, and enjoy special food such as sticky rice cakes. Family members who live apart try to be together at Tet.
Passover is in late March or early April. This festival is celebrated in Israel and by all Jewish people. On this festival, people celebrate freedom from slavery. Passover is also an ancient spring festival. On the first and second nights of Passover, Jewish families eat a special meal called the Seder
Easter is a joyful festival which is celebrated in many countries. It happens at around the same time as Passover. On Easter Day ( Easter Sunday ), young children receive chocolate or sugar eggs – as long as they are good. In many countries, people crowd the streets to watch colorful parades.
