📜 The Ancient History of the Spring Equinox 🌞✨
The Spring Equinox, also known as the Vernal Equinox, is a celestial event that has been celebrated for thousands of years across cultures! 🌍✨
🌿 Ancient Equinox Celebrations:
🔹 Stonehenge, England: Built to align with the sun, it was a sacred site for Druids and Celts who gathered to welcome spring. 🌄🌿
🔹 Mayan Pyramids, Mexico: At Chichén Itzá, the shadow of the “feathered serpent” Kukulkán slithers down the pyramid steps during the equinox. 🐍☀️
🔹 Nowruz, Persian New Year: Dating back 3,000 years, it marks a time of renewal, feasting, and celebrating nature. 🎉🌱
🔹 Holi, India’s Festival of Colors: Celebrated around the equinox, Holi welcomes spring with bright colors, laughter, and joy! 🎨🌸
🔹 Japan’s Shunbun no Hi: A day for honoring ancestors and embracing nature, celebrated with cherry blossoms and family gatherings. 🌸🇯🇵
💡 Fun Fact: The word “equinox” comes from the Latin words aequus (equal) and nox (night), meaning “equal night”, because on this day, day and night are nearly the same length all over the world! 🌍🌞🌙
