March is named for the Roman god of war, Mars, but is really one of our most celebratory months. March is home to Saint Patrick's day, the vernal equinox, the first true flushes of spring and, sometimes Easter (though it is in April this year). Though crocuses and snowdrops come out in February, March is the month where we get a glut of flowering bulbs and buds on bushes and trees. The nights are noticeably shorter and birds begin building their nests. Persephone is on the rise. True spring or the vernal equinox is March 20th this year. The equinox is essentially the moment at which the middle of the visible sun rises above the equator. The day and night of the are of roughly equal length and the sun rises due east and sets due west. There are exceptions to both of my latter points and more technical astronomical explanations for my former, but this is the general gist. Before this celestial event there is the cultural festival of the Irish on the 17th. Arguably the most influential culture to have never had an empire, or even a mighty army, is celebrated throughout the world. Tokyo, Buenos Aires, Johannesburg and Sydney all celebrate St Patrick's day by having parades, wearing green and drinking Guinness. The only place that doesn't really celebrate it in any major way is England. The M Night Shyamalan twist is that he's British (likely Welsh) and was captured by Irish pirates and turned into a slave.
