Lunar New Year celebrated around the world
Millions around the world headed home to celebrate the year of the goat (or sheep or ram depending on how you translate it) with their families, as lunar New Year starts Feb. 19, 2015.
Trains in China were jammed as people returned to their family homes. Apartments were cleaned to sweep away ill fortune. Traditional red envelopes, called hongbao or ang pow are offered for good luck and prosperity in the New Year.
Factories in parts of Asia shut down but the holiday is celebrated globally. In Sydney, Australia processions, lion dances, and dragon races welcomed the New Year. New York welcomed the holiday with a fireworks display on Tuesday over the Hudson River. (Yahoo News)
