Naturally occurring holidays like the equinoxes and solstices?

And in temperate climates, the first day of spring and Harvest feasts, marked in different cultures in different natural ways.

The first day of the naturally occuring spring, occuring naturally at a set number of days after the solstice.
You can recognize it from the skybox changing color.

Darn. My version must be glitched.

You have a divide by cucumber error. Reinstall your universe and exerting should sort itself out.

The first day of spring is the equinox.

[–] alvvayson@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 5 months ago

Au contraire, nature is quite ignorant of the astronomical equinox.

For nature, things like the Cherry blossoms, the blooming of the magnolia tree and the awakening of the Bumble bee are the ways nature indicates when Spring has started.

Harvest season and autumn are more typically defined by brown leaves, ripe pumpkins and ripe cider apples.

Those little furry things they have in the desert.

Get out of here with your science!

I actually like these ones the best. My family used to have cool solstice gatherings with some friends. There was always a lemon poppyseed cake, and lots of candles.

Equinoxes and solstices are natural, the holidays/celebrations are created by us
