When is the Year of the Rabbit?

In European countries, it is believed that the totem animal comes into its own according to the Gregorian calendar on New Year's Eve - January 1. But the eastern calendar is not synchronized with the European one. In the countries of the East, the beginning of the holiday is determined by the lunar calendar. By the way, in the East there is no fixed date for the New Year, the holiday occurs on the second new moon after the winter solstice, and due to the cyclical nature of the lunar months, the date falls differently. In the coming year, the reign of the Water Rabbit will begin on January 22, 2023 and will last until February 9, 2024. In Eastern cultures, the New Year is celebrated for 15 whole days, expressing respect for the symbol of the upcoming 12 months, trying to win its favor.
