Friday is the First Day of Spring!
March 20 is the first day of spring, when the vernal equinox occurs.
As the earth revolves around the sun, there are two times of the year when the equator is perfectly aligned with the sun. The first time is in March (vernal equinox, marking the first day of spring) and the second time is in September (autumnal equinox, marking the first day of the fall).
In Australia, their autumnal equinox is in March, and their vernal equinox is in September!
Bet you already knew that.
The Iranian calendar begins a new year on the first day of spring. It is believed that whatever you do on this day will affect the following twelve months, so do good and be your best.
Happy Nowruz 1388!
