It's also St David's Day today, and St Patricks Day on the 17th March.

"The Month Of March
“March” is named for the Roman god of war, Mars. However, we think of it as the beginning of spring, as March brings the vernal equinox on the 20th March and also the Full Worm Moon on the 3rd March, more notable this year because it coincides with a total lunar eclipse.
March’s birth flower is the daffodil, which signifies regard or unrequited love.
March’s birthstone is the aquamarine; its colour can be pale to dark blue, greenish-blue, or blue-green; deep, intense blue versions are more valuable.
March’s Zodiac signs are Pisces (February 20 to March 20) and Aries (March 21 to April 20).
March weather can bring rain and mud! Sprinkle salt on carpets to dry out muddy footprints before vacuuming.
