Happy New Persian Year!

For those who might not know, the Persian year officially begins on March 21, the first day of Spring, however we don't wait for the clock to show 12:00am or for the ball to fall! We wait for the exact time of the Spring Equinox. For this year, the exact time is 13:25:35 EST (18:25:35 UTC) on March 20.

Take a look at the page below. It's interesting to see how cultures are connected:
