The banners are usually red – a colour thought to bring good fortune – and are covered with so-called ‘lucky’ words like ‘prosperity’, ‘wealth’, and ‘good health’. Some Chinese Christians are using this tradition as a very visible way of proclaiming their faith. Their banners would read "Everlasting love of God"; " Jesus' love endures forever" etc.<div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?a=7FMD01O2ye0:9geBvQ-DaKo:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?a=7FMD01O2ye0:9geBvQ-DaKo:qj6IDK7rITs"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?d=qj6IDK7rITs" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?a=7FMD01O2ye0:9geBvQ-DaKo:gIN9vFwOqvQ"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?i=7FMD01O2ye0:9geBvQ-DaKo:gIN9vFwOqvQ" border="0"></img></a> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?a=7FMD01O2ye0:9geBvQ-DaKo:-BTjWOF_DHI"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/ubscp?i=7FMD01O2ye0:9geBvQ-DaKo:-BTjWOF_DHI" border="0"></img></a> </div><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/ubscp/~4/7FMD01O2ye0" height="1" width="1"/> http://www.ubscp.org/spring-festival/feed/ 0 http://www.ubscp.org/spring-festival/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=spring-festival
