“When the equinox entered Pisces, the Savior of the World "appeared as the Fisher of Men."”
“The number of the dead long exceedeth all that shall live. The night of time far surpasseth the day, and who knows when was the Æquinox? Every hour adds unto that current arithmetick, which scarce stands one moment.”

A solar equinox is a moment in time when the Sun appears directly above the equator, rather than to its north or south. On the day of the equinox, the Sun rises east and sets west. This occurs twice each year, around 20 March and 23 September.
