Celebrating the Year of the Horse in Boston
Bostonians celebrated Lunar New Year on Sunday during a traditional procession full of lion dancing, fireworks and offerings for good luck and prosperity during the year ahead.
This year marks the Year of the Horse in the Chinese zodiac.
The procession began at 10 in Phillips Square and wound through the streets of Chinatown.
The Lunar New Year is the most important annual holiday in China and some other East Asian nations and is celebrated outside the region, too.
