1/3 Happy #Easter! 🐰🥚🌼 #DYK the holiday has its roots in a #pagan festival celebrating the #springequinox (when the length of nights & days become equal) in the Northern Hemisphere.* The equinox happens when the Earth’s axis & its orbit line up, giving both hemispheres an equal amount of sunlight.
We use an astronomical calculation to work out which day Easter lands on ✖️➗🔭
*Note that this is the autumn equinox for us down under 🌏
