~~~31 EQUINOX Holi-day~~~
The United Nations celebrates Earth Day each year on the March equinox, which is often March 20, a tradition which was founded by peace activist John McConnell in 1969.
Equinox means Equal Night and the X is a representation of the Earths plane crossing the Suns Plane X known as the letter Chi
In Plato's Timaeus, it is explained that the two bands which form the soul of the world cross each other like the letter Χ.Chi or X is often used to abbreviate the name Christ, as in the holiday Christmas (Xmas)
Plan a party to celebrate Equinox !
The Sun is directly above the Equator
The Equinox can fall on either the 20th or 21st. On the Gregorian Calendar..and could fall in the middle of the week. On Natures calendar the equinox will always be the day before the week-end or on the week-end. If we followed Natures Calendar, there would also be a Holi-day (day off) creating a 3 day week-end making it more easy to celebrate.
Start a petition in your state to have theSeasonal changes of Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter which are the Equinox and Solstices designated as National Holidays by creating an online petition in your State.
