On the equinox the sun is positioned directly over the equator. The word “equinox” means “equal night” because on the equinox the night is equal in length to the day. There are two equinoxes during the year, the spring equinox, sometimes called “vernal equinox,” which falls around March 20th and the autumn equinox which falls around September 23rd. The day of the spring equinox marks the end of winter and beginning of spring.
The spring equinox is celebrated in many traditions as a time of fertility, regeneration and rebirth. Easter is calculated according to the date of the Spring Equinox - in the Western Church Easter falls on the first Sunday following the first full moon after the Spring equinox (the Eastern Orthodox Church celebrates Easter on a different date).
