Three Celebrations of the Spring Equinox, Past and Present
On March 20th, we will experience a special event in the spring equinox. Happening only twice a year, the equinox is the time when the sun is directly above the equator.
As a result, we get a day of complete balance; where day and night are equal in length. While, on the surface, this may seem like a normal astronomical event, the cultural, historical, and symbolic meanings present with the day are varied and fascinating. We want to share with you some different ways, past and present, that the spring equinox is celebrated by different cultures and beliefs, so we can all appreciate how this entry into a new season runs deeper than just simple symmetry.
How will you be celebrating the Spring Equinox? Will you be finding ways to reinvent yourself and take the new season by storm? Or will you use some self-care to reflect on what you’ve gone through over the past few months, and how it has made you stronger?
