Happy Equinox!

Posted on September 23, 2011 by

Happy Equinox! The Autumnal Equinox marks the end of summer and beginning of fall, it is one of the two days of the year that the length of night and day are equal. For millennia this day has marked the changing of the seasons and beginning of the harvest season.

So go try to balance an egg on the equator, just don’t try it in the Amazon.

For many cultures the equinox is a high holy day and for our Judaic friends it is closely related with Rosh Hashanah and the beginning of the Jewish High Holy Days. So Happy New Year!
