Cinco de Mayo is annually observed on May 5, the anniversary of a victory in 1862 in the fight for independence from French forces. It is a festival of Mexican pride and heritage in the United States.
Although the date and exact time may vary according to local climate, culture and customs, March 20th is the beginning of spring this year! This is the day of the vernal equinox, also known as the “spring equinox”, the day on which there are close to 12 hours of daylight and 12 hours of night. As we transition to summer, the days will get longer (more daylight).
From Wikipedia: “In spring, the axis of the Earth is increasing its tilt toward the Sun and the length of daylight rapidly increases for the relevant hemisphere. The hemisphere begins to warm significantly causing new plant growth to “spring forth,” giving the season its name. Snow, if a normal part of winter, begins to melt, and streams swell with runoff.”
Spring is the time of year when birds migrate north and trees and flowers awaken from their winter hibernation. In northern climates, people begin to open windows and doors to let in the sun and its warmth.
