March Equinox Souvenir
In 2026, the spring (vernal) equinox in the Northern Hemisphere occurs on March 20th, marking the astronomical start of spring. It is the moment when the Sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night, signalling the return of warmth, longer daylight hours, and the start of spring growth.
