  The well-known Singapore Chinatown shop “Orchid Chopsticks” has launched Christian-themed Lunar New Year decorations, blending Bible verses with traditional Chinese couplets. Designs 

include doves symbolizing the Holy Spirit, olive branches representing peace, and a bilingual paper-cut featuring the “Fruit of the Spirit.”


   Shop owner Zhao Hongjun shared that he began creating such products eight years ago, inspired by fellow church members. Initially, Chinese-imported items failed to meet local aesthetic 

preferences, prompting him to develop original designs. During the 2025 Lunar New Year, the products went unexpectedly viral on social media, leading to a surge in orders. Even a mistaken 

double-order shipment sold out completely—an outcome the Zhao couple attributes to “God’s blessing.”


    Their designs not only preserve Chinese cultural traditions but also serve as a gentle medium for sharing the gospel within the community, attracting attention from both Christian and 

non-Christian audiences.
