[Vietnam] Tết Nguyên Đán - Vietnam Lunar New Year
Dear Slowly team, Last year there was a large batch released to commemorate Christmas and New Year holiday in Europe, America, some Asian and Oceanic. So I think it'd be nice if we have some Premium Region-Specific Lunar New Year stamps this year. Besides solar new year, many Asian countries do celebrate Lunar New Year as the most important and popular festival in their countries. ( Detail here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_New_Year ) In Vietnam, Tết Nguyên Đán takes place from the 1st day of the first lunar month. For example, Tết falls on January 22nd in solar calendar in 2023 and usually lasts for a week. The most iconic things about Vietnamese Tet certainly is our traditional dishes " Bánh Chưng, Bánh Dày". While Bánh Chưng shaped square symbolizes the Earth, Bánh Dày shaped round symbolizes the Sky. The filling of Bánh Chưng consist of mung beans and pork which symbolize all living organisms on the Earth. All of the ingredients are wrapped with green leaves, honoring the unconditional love of parents for their kids. Bánh Chưng, Bánh Dày are all made of rice, which emphasizes the important role of rice in Vietnam, a country with a long-standing wet-rice culture. You can find out more about our Tet Nguyen Dan and the legendary of Bánh Chưng, Bánh Dày here: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T%E1%BA%BFt * http://www.lionbrand.com.au/blog/the-legend-of-the-rice-cake-banh-chung-and-banh-giay Vietnam doesn't have any commemorative stamp at present so I hope that we can see a well-depicted stamp next year. Thank you!

Lempira, a Lencan warrior, led the resistance against Spanish conquistadors during the 16th century. His name symbolizes the resistance and struggle for freedom that is deeply rooted in the history and identity of the Honduran people. Lempira Day holds great importance for the Honduran population, serving as a reminder of the country's indigenous heritage and the spirit of resistance against oppression. It is a day to honor and remember the courageous acts of Lempira and his commitment to preserving the ancestral lands of the indigenous communities. The celebrations on Lempira Day encompass a variety of cultural activities, including traditional music, dance performances, parades, and reenactments of historical events. These festivities bring together communities across Honduras, fostering a sense of unity and pride in their shared history and cultural heritage. As Hondurans gather to commemorate Lempira Day, they also take the opportunity to reflect on the challenges they face as a nation and reaffirm their commitment to upholding the principles of freedom, equality, and social justice that Lempira fought for. Lempira's legacy continues to inspire generations, serving as a symbol of courage and resistance against injustice. His story serves as a reminder of the importance of honoring and preserving indigenous cultures and the contributions they have made to the rich tapestry of Honduran society. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_holidays_in_Honduras
