Issue Series: Celebrating Lunar New
YearDragons aren't always scary monsters. Consider the colorful creature
depicted by the U.S. Postal Service® in its 2012 Year of the Dragon
(Forever®) stamp, fifth in the Celebrating Lunar New Year
series! The Year of the Dragon begins on January 23, 2012, and ends on February
9, 2013.Across many cultures, in the United States as elsewhere, the
Lunar New Year is celebrated in various ways, often with parades and parties. By
tradition, dragons are not feared, but are considered magical or divine —
welcome symbols at this time of renewed hope for the future. Performing before
delighted crowds, skilled teams of dancers manipulate colorful dragon figures
such as the one depicted in the stamp art. Lucky foods are eaten — kumquats, for
example (issued in 2011) — and given as gifts. Festive lanterns, colored red for
luck (issued in 2008), are common decorations at Lunar New Year celebrations,
where they are frequently hung in rows.Combining original artwork by Kam
Mak with two elements from the previous series of Lunar New
Year stamps — Clarence Lee's intricate paper-cut design of a
dragon and the Chinese character for "Dragon," drawn in grass-style calligraphy
by Lau Bun — art director Ethel Kessler has created a culturally rich stamp
design that celebrates the diversity of the American experience.The
Celebrating Lunar New Year stamp for the Year of the Dragon is being
issued as a Forever stamp. Forever stamps are always equal in value to the
current First-Class Mail one-ounce rate.Made in the USA.
