good luck foods to eat New Year's Day
|
- black-eyed peas and other legumes - in the USA and many other cultures
- donuts - in Holland (because anything in the shape of a ring symbolizes "coming full circle" or completing a year's cycle)
- grapes eaten each time the clock chimes at midnight - in Spain
- Mochi (rice cakes) - in Japan
- the hog (bacon, ham) and cabbage leaves (representing money) - signs of prosperity
|
|
On New Year's Eve, Buddhist temples let 108 passersby ring a huge bell one time, once for each of the 108 kinds of evil. On New Year's Day, it is traditional to make a pilgrimage to a
Shinto shrine or a Buddhist temple. In Japan, the celebration lasts for three days, starting on January 1; everyone gets new clothes and almost no one works.
