Check these printable March calendars for 2024!
While March is the third month of the year since 18th century, being the month when spring started, it was for many centuries the first in the calendar. March is called the month of life, hope, new beginnings and resurrections.
The main reason for this is of course weather. On 20th or 21th of March Sun crosses celestial equator from South to North. This means Northern Hemisphere will get a bigger share of sunlight coming to Earth what is undoubtedly a good reason for optimism.

The name March comes from Latin Martius. This month got the name after god of war: Aries. Less known fact is Aries is also a god of agriculture and father of Romulus and Remus, founders of Rome. No wonder Roman wanted to celebrate a New year on 1st March!

St. Patrick's Day
The most popular holiday in March is without any doubt St. Patrick's Day on the 17th. This year it comes on Thursday. Saint Patrick's Day is celebrated with many activities for kids and grown-ups. Special food, made by traditional recipes, is prepared, Green clothes and hats are worn, there are parades and different crafts. Everything on this date is in the sign of green ribbons, shamrocks, leprechauns, rainbows and pots of gold.
What is St. Patrick Day anyway? It is a commemoration of death of Saint Patrick, who converted many Irish pagans to Christianity. Among converts there were several members of king's family. In about three decades of his activity practically all Ireland became catholic country which still is. To help you get in the right mood, we prepared several St Patrick themed calendars, ready to print and absolutely free for your personal use.
Easter
There is an interesting superstition related to cuckoos: when you hear it for the first time in a given year, turn all your money in your pockets, spit and don't look down. If you are standing on soft grounds, this will bring you luck, if you are on hard ground, this is bad for you. And if your pockets are empty it's not a good sign either.
Easter is the most important holiday in Christianity (even bigger than Christmas) It is a day when the resurrection of Jesus Christ is celebrated and it has clear pagan origins. It is not hard to see how happy were the ancients when Sun, symbolically dead through the winter, finally came back in full power - it was certainly something to celebrate!
So ... Why eggs on Easter? And why is there an Easter bunny? Eggs and rabbits are both powerful symbols of fertility. Spring is all about fertility, birth, new life. It's the most optimistic time of the year, pagans celebrated it in numerous ways and all world religions connected it with their most important events as well. Don't forget: Easter week starts with Palm Sunday which falls on April 3rd this year
