Lunar New Year : In Vietnam
http://vn-style.com/lunar_newyear/ Lunar New Year : In Vietnam To regard Tet Nguyen Dan (The Vietnamese Lunar New Year) simply as New Year's Day, as one would in the West, would display a poor knowledge of the people of Vietnam. In spite of its impressive credentials, the regorian New Year has not been generally accepted in Vietnam, in the countryside in particular. Vietnamese people pay it a courteous homage but reserve their heart and soul for the traditional Tet. |

Norooz, NoRuz, NowRuz (Persian New Year)
http://www.farsinet.com/norooz/ Norooz, NoRuz, NowRuz (Persian New Year) In harmony with the rebirth of nature, the Iranian New Year Celebration, or NOROOZ, always begins on the first day of spring. Nowruz ceremonies are symbolic representations of two ancient concepts - the End and the Rebirth; or Good and Evil. A few weeks before the New Year, Iranians clean and rearrange their homes. They make new clothes, bake pastries and germinate seeds as sign of renewal. The ceremonial cloth is set up in each household. Troubadours, referred to as Haji Firuz, disguise themselves with makeup and wear brightly colored outfits of satin. |

Cinco De Mayo, The Fifth Of May
http://www.mexonline.com/cinco.htm The holiday of Cinco De Mayo, The Fifth Of May, commemorates the victory of the Mexicans over the French army at The Battle Of Puebla in 1862.

It is not, as many people think, Mexico's Independence Day, which is actually September 16. festival | cinco | mayo | may | |
