WEB Lunar New Year in Penang, Malaysia

A group performs an acrobatic lion dance for Lunar New Year celebrations on one of the main bar streets of Georgetown, the old center of Penang, Malaysia, on Feb. 5, 2019. The lion dance team was brought in and paid by the owners of the businesses on that street, and prior to the performance the lion toured all the businesses on the street that contributed to the performance, spreading blessings. It is believed that a lion entering the building will bring good luck to the place in the coming year. RNS photo by Alexandra Radu
