//** The first month of spring **//

// March is the first month of spring, the month of sun! // // But the weather in Ukraine isn't warm enough and the sun doesn't shine... // // It's cold and it's rainy and there is no sun! //

// It's also the month of holidays! // // The most important holiday of the March is the International Women's Day, which is celebrated on 8th March. // // It's the day of all women in the world. //

// A celebration of this day began in 1857 when women held a "march of empty kostryul" in New York. // // The women were protesting against poor working conditions and low salary. // // March 8 became the official holiday in 1975. // // On this day men usually buy presents for women, for example flowers, sweets etc. //



// 20th March is the day when the day and the night are the same! // // March is the month of two signs of the zodiac: Aquarius and Fishes. // // March is named after Mars, the god of war. //

// 23rd March is Ukrainian Day of workers of culture and folk art amateurs. // // I hope the spring will be warm and sunny! //
