This year there will be a total solar eclipse coinciding with the vernal equinox but you’ll have to travel to the Faroe Islands to experience less than 3 minutes of totality. Alternatively you can stay at home and party with Greek friends as they celebrate their independence day five days later on March 25th. Pick up a FlagAndMap gift featuring a Greek design for this special occasion. Several other national celebrations also occur in March as can be seen from the list below.
