Today we celebrated two vibrant cultural events in our community — Chinese New Year and Mardi Gras! 🎉🌏
For Chinese New Year, our residents celebrated with a festive game of Chinese New Year Bingo as we welcomed the Year of the Horse! We even had a special visit from our facility dragon — who turned 25 years old today! 🐉🎉
The Year of the Horse symbolizes energy, strength, and independence. Those born in the Year of the Horse are said to be hardworking, social, adventurous, and full of positive spirit. The horse is known for bringing enthusiasm and forward momentum — making it a year associated with progress, confidence, and success. 🐎✨
Our second celebration took us to the colorful world of Mardi Gras!
Also known as “Fat Tuesday,” Mardi Gras marks the final day of celebration before the Christian season of Lent begins. The tradition is especially famous in New Orleans, where parades, music, beads, and King Cake are all part of the fun. The official Mardi Gras colors each have special meanings:
💜 Purple – Justice
💚 Green – Faith
💛 Gold – Power
Today was a fun day filled with cultural celebrations and shared moments together.
