The September Equinox, also known as the Autumnal Equinox, marks the arrival of autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. In Lithuania, this day typically falls on September 22nd or 23rd. It is a time when day and night are approximately equal in length.
Historically, the equinox was significant for agrarian societies, including the ancestors of modern Lithuanians. It signaled a change in seasons and was a crucial period for harvesting crops and preparing for the winter months. The equinox was often associated with various pagan customs and rituals celebrating harvest and abundance.
In contemporary Lithuania, while many ancient traditions have faded, some customs linked to nature's cycles persist. The September Equinox is not a public holiday in Lithuania; however, it is still recognized by those interested in astronomical events or following neo-pagan traditions.
The September Equinox serves as a subtle reminder of Lithuania’s connection to its agrarian roots and its place within the broader cycle of seasons.
