March

March is the third month of the Gregorian calendar. It is named after the Roman god Mars.


Did you know, in the old Roman calendar, it was actually the first month? The original Roman calendar contained ten months, from March through December. It wasn't until Julius Caesar introduced his namesake calendar in 46 BC.


Some interesting notes to know about March: it is the birth month of Albert Einstein (born March 14, 1879), it has the fun mathematical day called Pi (π) Day which is also 3-14, and it has the vernal equinox, which we will talk about later.
