Spring equinox 2021: Hope rises on the horizon and International Day of Happiness

If you ever hear anyone say "vernal equinox," it means the same thing.

The term equinox comes from the Latin word "equinoxium," meaning "equality between day and night." And vernal also comes from Latin and means spring.

Spring equinox 2021 arrives on Saturday, March 20, bringing its nearly perfect balance of daytime and nighttime all around the world.

 The call of the spring equinox is ancient. For millennia, humankind has tracked the sun and the seasons and celebrated the promise of renewal and rebirth by joining together outdoors. In 2020, we were compelled to do the opposite, retreating indoors and into isolation to slow the march of the coronavirus.

International Day of Happiness is organised by the United Nations to promote the idea that happiness is a fundamental human goal.
