Spring festivals

It’s officially spring. By the meteorological calendar, it started on 1st March, as it always does, and astronomical spring, which is based on the position of Earth's orbit in relation to the Sun, considering equinoxes and solstices, started on 20th March this year...

Depending on where you are or where you are going (what culture, what climate and which hemisphere) you will find that spring festivals differ significantly.
