The March Equinox, also known as the Spring Equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the Autumnal Equinox in the Southern Hemisphere, including Mozambique, typically occurs on March 20th or 21st each year. This astronomical event marks the moment when the sun crosses the celestial equator, resulting in nearly equal day and night lengths across the globe.
In Mozambique, as in many other parts of the world, equinoxes do not have a significant historical tradition tied to them due to its tropical location and relatively consistent day lengths throughout the year. Unlike regions further from the equator which experience drastic changes in daylight through seasons, Mozambique's proximity to the equator means that these variations are much less pronounced.
Today, there are no widespread traditions or holidays directly associated with the March Equinox in Mozambique. The day passes much like any other without specific rituals or celebrations linked to it. However, people may acknowledge the event as part of educational curricula or scientific observation.

Overall, while recognized by those with interest in astronomy or science education, for most inhabitants of Mozambique, life continues as usual during this equinoctial period without any special observances.
