🌸FOOD FOR THE EQUINOX🍂
Food plays an important roll at Higan (彼岸).
On the first and last day of the equinoctial week, rice dumplings (団子 'dango') are offered at the family altar. Rice cakes covered in bean jam (botamochi in spring and ohagi in fall) are presented mid-week.

Botamochi and ohagi are popular during the equinoctial weeks, when they are made as sacred offerings & enjoyed as tasty snacks.

Today is the Spring or Vernal #Equinox, a day of equal night and day. To celebrate, a tour was due to take place @NMIreland Archaeology. So here instead, is a #TwitterTour by Archaeology Museum Educator, @trisha_ryan, of some facts from the tour #histedchatie #MuseumFromHome
There are many archaeological monuments and artefacts that are connected to solar or celestial symbols, including the Equinox. For thousands of years, people looked to the skies and their environment to help explain the world.
People expressed this in the monuments they built such as passage tombs and stone circles. The passage tomb of #Knowth has 2 tombs, both at due east and west, and is thought to be aligned to the rising and setting sun of the Equinoxes. Images from @newgrangeknowth
It's the #SpringEquinox in the northern hemisphere, when day and night are equal.
Welcome the #firstdayofspring with this lovely Roman fresco of Flōra, the goddess of the flowering of plants and of the season of spring. From the Villa of Ariadne, Stabiae in Italy.

The Spring Equinox is mentioned in this 3,000-year-old cuneiform tablet from ancient Mesopotamia.
'On the 6th of Nisan (I) the day and the night were in balance: 6 'double-hours' of daylight, 6 'double-hours' of night. cdli.ucla.edu/search/search_…

The tablet was part of the library of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria. Reports were given to him by officials and scholars.
This is a fragment of a Neo-Assyrian clay tablet with depictions of constellations. It represents the night sky of 3-4 January 650 BC over Nineveh.

(Thread) The official start of Spring - the Spring/Vernal Equinox - is today, at 5:58 PM EDT. This marks the time when the day-to-night line, called the terminator, is perfectly vertical from pole to pole. #SpringEquinox #FirstDayOfSpring
The Vernal Equinox is also the day of the year when day and night are most nearly equal everywhere on earth.
There will be more daylight than nighttime each day now, until the Fall/Autumnal Equinox in September.

The fairly rare alignment of a #Supermoon and Spring Equinox happens tonight too. This will be the last #Supermoon of 2019. blogs.nasa.gov/Watch_the_Skie…
