VIETNAM-LIFESTYLE-NEW YEAR-TET

This picture taken on January 19, 2015 shows men decorating votive paper horses for the coming "Tet" lunar New Year holidays, at a family workshop in the village of Phuc Am on the outskirts of Hanoi. Making votive paper offerings is a flourishing business for villages around the Hanoi region, especially during "Tet" or the Lunar New Year holidays and following weeks of spring festivities in northern Vietnam. Vietnamese, especially those from the northern part of the country, believe that by burning votive paper models in various shapes, such as horses, clothing, houses or cars, their ancestors will have what they need in the afterlife. The 2015 Lunar New Year's "Year of the Sheep" begins on February 19. AFP PHOTO / HOANG DINH NAM (Photo by HOANG DINH NAM / AFP) (Photo by HOANG DINH NAM/AFP via Getty Images)
