VERNAL EQUINOX

Wednesday, March 20, 2019   5:58 p.m.

One of the four solar holidays marking the beginning of spring.  The rejoining of the Mother Goddess and her lover-consort-son, who spent the winter months in death; or the Goddess returning to her Maiden aspect (e.g., Persephone returning from the Underworld.)

Now every field is clothed with grass, and every tree with leaves;
now the woods put forth their blossoms,
and the year assumes its gay attire.
