Sunday marked the start of the Lunar New Year, one of the biggest celebrations in the world. Also known as the Spring Festival, the exact date of the Lunar New Year varies each year, landing sometime between January 21 and February 20, depending on when the first full moon occurs on the lunar calendar. Celebrated for thousands of years, this holiday is infused with an "out with the old, in with the new" spirit. It marks the start of a new lunar calendar and it is a celebration of the arrival of spring. Each year, a unique animal and element combination is presented. That combination is thought to bring unique qualities and symbolism to the year. It takes 60 years for the same combination to come around again.
