Chinese New Year 2015 - February 20th, 2015

 When was Chinese New Year? [Thurs. Feb. 19, 2015]

It is calculated according to the Chinese lunar calendar, hence the date is different each year - always in the period between January 21st - February 20th  

"The Year of the Goat orSheep"    

 Can you find "The Sheep below?" 

 According to Chinese astrology, each year (starting from Chinese New Year) is associated with an animal sign, occurring in a 12-year cycle.
