The Year of the Rabbit

Posted by MaryO on January 22, 2023

 

Our wonderful daughter-in-law is Chinese, so we are celebrating, too.

This is the Year of the Rabbit.

The rabbit (兔) is the fourth in the twelve-year periodic sequence (cycle) of animals that appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. The Year of the Rabbit is associated with the Earthly Branch symbol 卯.
