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
the 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 poeple crowd the streets to watch
colorful parades.
