A friend of mine knows some people who celebrate this event.
Are any of you aware of when it is ? when is it this year?

I do not blame them! Daylight starts to increase and warm up. It means "spring is around the corner".

I'm not sure spring is around the corner here in the Northeast but it is nice to know that everyday we get a little more sunshine until June.
