Celebrating the Vernal Equinox CHANGING OFTHE SEASONS In ancient civilizations, time was marked by the sun’s activity, so the equinox was a big event. For us, it’s a sign that the days are starting to get longer and warmer! Celebrate by enjoying a walk around the neighborhood or dinner with friends.The equinox is also a good marker for when we can begin to prepare our gardens for planting. Enjoy the start of a new season and a reason to come out of your winter hibernation! While it may still be chilly out, the longer days are a great excuse to get active.
As we move out of winter, we begin to hear the birds chirping, see the sun peeking her bright face out for more of the day, and watch some of the first plants emerge from the earth after a long winter. On March 19, we celebrate the vernal equinox, or the spring equinox, which marks the first day of spring, when the Earth’s Northern and Southern Hemispheres receive equal amounts of
night. It marks the day when the sun’s terminator (the divide between night and day) is perpendicular to the equator, giving equal amounts of day and night to each side of the Earth. We have a spring and a fall equinox because of the Earth’s rotation and tilt. EGGY ORIGINS According to some folklore, a raw egg will stand on its end during the equinox.
