Introducing a Three-Part Chinese New Year Blockbuster

Simply put, the Chinese New Year comes closest to being the largest occasion in welcoming an incoming year as we bid farewell to the old one. It is a happy and joyous event celebrated by billions of Chinese throughout the world and there is so much to see and learn for anyone who is new to this annual ethnic event. 

However in the midst of all the colour, fanfare and gaiety, every Chinese New Year irrespective of where it is held, is also full of little minefields for the faithful Christian. Look left, look right, look ahead and the back, there is a litany of symbolisms, root histories and tales, iconic facsimiles and plenty of semblances that shout back one word clearly to us - PAGANISM. When you know where to look, they are obvious. It becomes a problem when you don't know.

For this Chinese New Year, we are publishing a comprehensive three-part article where we share in some depth, a clearer understanding of this annual event but from a Christian perspective. We begin the first one today and we call it A Christian Standpoint for Chinese New Year.

We hope you enjoy reading it.

God bless.
