It is exciting to know that 2025 will be celebrated as the Year of the Snake according to the Chinese Lunar New Year. For those who may not be as big of fans as we are, this celebration is not just about snakes. According to tradition, snakes are symbols of transformation. It is believed that just like a Snake sheds its previous skin, in the same way it has the power to change people’s lives. The symbol of the snake is also linked to wealth, good luck, and prosperity in Chinese thought.
The promotion of the Chinese New Year is a worldwide effort. Even the US Post Office is participating by offering a forever stamp featuring the Year of the Snake. This makes it easy to be a part of this global recognition of the positive influence of snakes.
