Celebrations in the 4th Month of the Year

On or about the 21^st day of the 3^rd month of the year the sun reaches the equinox (the earths’ equator) where day and night have the equal length all over the world. With the longer sunlight, Nature becomes energized once again after its long winter slumber.

During the 4^th month a time was chosen by the religious community to remember the death and resurrection of their savior, the Christ. They chose the Sunday following the first full moon after the Sun passes through the equinox and one group chose the first Sunday after the 4^th quarter of the Moon after the Sun passé through the equinox. Also, the Jewish religion celebrates Passover in the 4^th month, starting the day after the first full moon after the sun passes through the equinox.

So, the 4^th month is about life and death. A life renewed and a death avoided. Enjoy the Sun and the Moon this weekend. Know that life is eternal, celebrate life. This is the best time of the year to do it though some of us celebrate life everyday. Allow the sun within to shine upon all life and live in peace. Spring has sprung! Peace.
