It was. Once upon a time, the year started at the spring equinox, March 1st. Since then we have stuffed up the calendar mightily. We shifted the New Year by two months, from March 1st to January 1st, and then we stuffed up the changeover from the Julian calendar to the Gregorian calendar by jumping days, instead of adding Leap days to keep everything synchronised. Thereby pushing the Equinox from the 1st to the 21st. |
