it can be exceptionally beautiful. However, all the charm disappears during the thaw, when the streets get gray and wet. Then everyone is waiting impatiently for the warming and the first rays of the spring sun. Therefore, some people may be comforted by the fact that we can celebrate the first day of spring as many as five times.
Astronomical and calendar spring 2022, or what is the spring equinox
As every year, the calendar spring falls on March 21 and lasts until June 21. It usually begins a little later than the astronomical one. It is influenced by the solar wandering through the ecliptic. You can talk about it when the day equals the night, and the sun falls on that day perpendicular to the equator. Then the so-called the vernal equinox, which usually takes place on March 20 or 21. This is when the day grows longer than the night.
How can we still distinguish 1 day of spring? The main criterion is temperature, but not only
Although the calendar and astronomical spring are the best known, the first day of spring can also be distinguished on a different basis. When the average air temperature fluctuates between 5 and 10 degrees, we talk about the so-called . There is also a weather spring that starts on March 1 and lasts until May 31. However, if we want to be guided by the signs given to us by nature, we can distinguish phenological spring. Its date is movable as it begins when the grass begins to turn green and the first buds appear on the trees.
The first day of spring 2022 and the traditions associated with it
The first day of spring is great for many. Apart from the unofficial date of truant’s day, it has become popular to cultivate the tradition of melting madder. A dumpling made of straw, linen and ornaments symbolized the goddess who was blamed for the dying of nature. In the past, burning it was supposed to give people the certainty that the next year would bring good crops and bring fertility and give rise to a new life in nature. Currently, although this tradition is continued in many places, it is not guided by such beliefs as it used to be. The main purpose of melting the madder is to welcome spring in a symbolic way.
