Special Announcement

March 21^st is the first day of Spring!

The first day of Spring (or Vernal Equinox) is one of the four major seasonal changes of the year. It denotes the astronomical event of the Sun resting directly above the equator, causing the hours of daylight to roughly equal the hours of darkness. It is one of two days of the year that the Sun spends a roughly equal amount of time above and below the horizon at every location on Earth, hence the use of the term “equinox,” derived from the Latin words “aequus” (equal) and “nox” (night).

The first day of Spring (21 March this year) is used by the Christian church to calculate when Easter is celebrated. The first Sunday after the first full moon on or after the Vernal Equinox is denoted as Easter Sunday.

The Vernal Equinox is celebrated with much more reverence in other parts of the world. People in Japan commemorate the day by visiting the graves of deceased relatives and holding family reunions. Additionally, the Vernal Equinox marks the beginning of the Iranian calendar, and the celebration of the ancient creation of the Iranian people.

According to European folk tales, the first day of Spring is the only day of the year that you are able to balance an egg on its point. Is it true? We’ll let you figure it out!
