Echoes of Renewal: First Day of Spring 2023

The spring equinox, which marks the official first day of spring in the Northern Hemisphere, is a time of tradition and a harmonious balance between day and night. The equinox arrives exactly at 21:24 UTC on March 20, and cultures around the world celebrate it in their own unique ways. The equinox is a superb time to orient oneself, as the sun rises due east and sets due west for everyone on the planet. The equinox also marks the beginning of fall for those living south of the equator.
