three in one

O dia em que começa a Primavera é sempre um dia mágico.
A partir de hoje os dias vão começar a ficar mais quentes, as roupas mais coloridas e mais levezinhas, nada de andar com 1001 casacos atrás. Acabarão os dilemas de como passar o fim de semana já que praia vai ser sempre a resposta! Saladas e sumos naturais, gelados com topping de morango na esplanada, saidas todas as noites porque está demasiado calor para ficar em casa... Ahhhh que maravilha!
Por isso, faz-me todo o sentido que o primeiro dia de primavera seja o primeiro dia do resto do ano. E para os muçulmanos é.

Feliz Primavera, Feliz No'rooz e Feliz Páscoa.

Hi!
No'rooz, literally means new day, is the new year in Persian calendar and that has nothing to do with Islam and "musalmanos" with Moon based calendar.

Do you know that astrological signs are based on Persian calendar?
For your information the Persian calendar consists of 12 months, the first six of which are 31 days, the next five 30 days, and the final month 29 days in a normal year and 30 days in a leap year.

As one of the few calendars designed in the era of accurate positional astronomy, the Persian calendar uses a very complex leap year structure which makes it the most accurate solar calendar in use today. Years are grouped into cycles which begin with four normal years after which every fourth subsequent year in the cycle is a leap year. Cycles are grouped into grand cycles of either 128 years (composed of cycles of 29, 33, 33, and 33 years) or 132 years, containing cycles of of 29, 33, 33, and 37 years. A great grand cycle is composed of 21 consecutive 128 year grand cycles and a final 132 grand cycle, for a total of 2820 years. The pattern of normal and leap years which began in 1925 will not repeat until the year 4745!

Each 2820 year great grand cycle contains 2137 normal years of 365 days and 683 leap years of 366 days, with the average year length over the great grand cycle of 365.24219852. So close is this to the actual solar tropical year of 365.24219878 days that the Persian calendar accumulates an error of one day only every 3.8 million years. As a purely solar calendar, months are not synchronized with the phases of the Moon.
