Spring Equinox

The Spring Equinox, occurring around March 20 or 21, marks the point in the year when day and night are nearly equal in length. This event occurs because the tilt of the Earth's axis is such that the sun shines directly on the equator. It symbolizes the arrival of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, inspiring celebrations of new life and renewal in various cultures. The equinox also serves as a reminder of the changing seasons as daylight gradually increases, leading to warmer temperatures and blooming vegetation.
