Mongolian New Year Event: Tsagaan Sar (White Moon)

The festival the Mongol people, nomads living on the Central Asian steppe, celebrate grandly is called Tsagaan Sar ( New Year ), the "White Moon." It follows the lunar calendar, so the date changes every year. At New Year, families and relatives gather around a feast, rejoice at getting through the harsh winter and welcoming spring, and pray for happiness through the year. The "white" of "Tsagaan Sar (White Moon)" expresses purity in Mongolia and is also the color of milk, which Mongolians revere. New Year also means a pure white month in which nothing bad happens. On New Year's Day people rise before sunrise, change into clean clothes, walk in their own lucky direction, and return from the direction of merit. After this ritual, they offer milk to the earth and greet their family at sunrise. Let's celebrate New Year's Eve and the lunar New Year in the Mongolian way together with a nomad family.
