Spring Equinox celebration

The March Equinox, the first day of spring, is a time of rebirth and renewal. Many cultures have celebrated the March equinox as the first day of the new year. On that day the night and day became equal at 16.33 pm. This new beginning was embraced by infusing the eggs with the intentions for the new season and throwing them into the river at Viline Vode and with many other artists’ contributions invited by the artist, both of them happened by the river side and at Dim Belgrade
