The Spring Equinox, a pivotal time of balance between day and night, is deeply rooted in Celtic traditions, marking a period of renewal and rebirth. Celebrated as "Alban Eilir," it symbolizes the awakening of the earth, with rituals such as bonfires, seed planting, and the decoration of eggs to promote fertility and abundance. These ancient practices, embodying themes of growth, balance, and renewal, continue to influence modern celebrations, connecting us to the natural world and our shared heritage.
