H.R. No. 48

R E S O L U T I O N
WHEREAS, Many Texans are joining together with people around
the world in celebration of the Lunar New Year on February 12, 2021;
and
WHEREAS, The Lunar New Year festival, which begins with the
first new moon of the lunar calendar, is one of the most important
religious and cultural holidays for people of Asian heritage; this
year's festival marks the commencement of the Year of the Ox and
ushers in the spring season, a new beginning, when members of the
Asian community reflect on the past and make plans for the future;
and
WHEREAS, The ox, the second animal of the Chinese Zodiac,
symbolizes the virtues of hard work, honesty, kindness,
tranquility, and reason; in ancient times, the ox was associated
with prosperity due to its status as a valuable livestock animal;
and
WHEREAS, Members of the Asian community play a vital role in
the business, professional, and cultural life of the Lone Star
State, and the Lunar New Year is a fitting time to reflect on their
many contributions as we share our hopes for a prosperous future;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 87th Texas
Legislature hereby commemorate the Lunar New Year on February 12,
2021, and extend to all who are celebrating the holiday sincere best
wishes for health and happiness in the coming year.
