Depicted as strong yet graceful, the crane is a traditional symbol of love in Japan. Since the elegant bird mates for life, it is a popular animal motif in weddings.

The new omicron variant could potentially throw a wrench in even the most carefully planned holiday travel.There’s still much we’re learning about omicron, and it is admittedly still a very developing situation. But we do know that the variant may be more contagious than others and contains several spike protein mutations that may make it less responsive to COVID-19 vaccines.
