Happy Spring!
March 20th, 2008Today is Vernal Equinox and the first day of spring. I am stoked about spring arriving. It has been a snowy, cold winter and I am ready for the light (and heat) to return. Here are a few fun facts about Vernal Equinox.
Equinox means “equal night” or a day when there are equal night and daylight hours.
Ancient cultures held huge celebrations at Vernal Equinox as it represented a time when the food supplies would be restored.
The ancient Egyptians built the Great Sphinx so that it faces the sunrise directly at Vernal Equinox.
In astrology, Vernal Equinox represents the Sun entering into Aries.
Celebrate Spring! I know I am. I celebrated today by having a big, fresh, green salad for lunch, my share of spring greens.
Happy Spring!
