Guardian Article - The druids celebrate the equinox

The article i found was about the different groups of people who went to celebrate the spring equinox at Stonehenge. The group is made up of all druids, witches and shamans and all the others who are proud to call themselves pagans. In the article they all wanted to show that even though they may have unusual beliefs they are still normal people. They want to show they are just ordinary people - lawyers, bankers, teachers, IT consultants - who believe in paganism.

The spring equinox is that moment in time (not a whole day) when the centre of the Sun can be observed to be directly above the Earth's equator, occurring around March 20. When this moment occurs there is an equal amount of light and dark.
