How we source these
Public holidays are taken from official government sources for each country and cover national holidays only. The United States, Canada and Australia all have significant state and provincial holidays that are not shown, and India’s system of state, optional and restricted holidays means only three days are observed nationwide. Where a government has not yet published a year, we say so rather than guess. Always check the official source for the country concerned rather than relying on this alone.
March 20th through history
The equinox, and a statement about beef
The spring equinox usually falls on March 20th, occasionally the 19th or 21st, when the sun crosses the celestial equator going north. Day and night are not in fact equal on it: the atmosphere bends the light and the sun is a disc rather than a point, so Britain gets several minutes more daylight than darkness. The genuinely equal day, the equilux, has already gone by, around the 17th.
On March 20th 1996 the health secretary Stephen Dorrell told the Commons that ten people under the age of forty-two had contracted a new variant of Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, and that exposure to BSE was the most likely explanation. Beef sales collapsed within days, the European Union banned British beef within a week, and the ban stayed in place for ten years.
Napoleon reached Paris on March 20th 1815, three weeks after landing in the south with a handful of men and without a shot being fired at him. Louis XVIII had left in the night. The Hundred Days ended at Waterloo in June.
Twenty-seven years of Henrik Ibsen’s life, the playwright regarded as one of the founders of modern drama, were spent outside Norway, writing about very little except Norway; he was born there on March 20th 1828. The film director Spike Lee, known for Do the Right Thing, followed in 1957, the actress Holly Hunter in 1958 and the actor William Hurt in 1950.
Born on March 20th: star sign, birthstone and birth flower
Spike Lee and Holly Hunter — both named above — share this star sign with everyone else born in the same window.
Star sign
Pisces — a Water sign ruled by Jupiter (traditional) / Neptune (modern), symbolised by Two Fish. If you were born right on the cusp, sources vary by a day either way on exactly where one sign ends and the next begins.
Birthstone
traditionally Bloodstone, or Aquamarine in the modern list for March.
Birth flower
Daffodil (primary), also Jonquil — most commonly cited sources agree on daffodil as the main March flower.
None of this is settled fact in the way the history above is — zodiac dates, birthstones and birth flowers are conventions rather than laws, and different sources hedge them slightly differently. The birthstone is the most standardised of the three (set by the trade in 1912 and revised since); the birth flower is the least, resting on Victorian tradition rather than any governing body.
