  • Hi Jakoba. The baserritars of the Biscayan town of Zalla say “Angel Day, March 1, is made to all moons” (Angel Day, March 1, adapts to all moons). Also on the shrinking moon or in the wandering, it is said that that day they sow bell pepper and tomato. They also placed semi-whole onions. I would like to know if that day has any peculiarity with regard to the moon. Rosina Enzunza (Arrieta)

Hi, Rosina. For starters, beware of expressions so linked to religion. Hence also the expression that “the Friday of the waning moon is growing and the Friday of the waning moon”. This angel is wanted to do a miracle every year… Thinking of the cold, March 1 can be considered as the beginning of the new station: the day has elongated a lot, the spring is coming soon and we have the impression that we are leaving behind the cold, the darkness, etc. associated with winter. It's also time to think about summer plants and make the sows you mention. An old saying that sums up the moon in a growing room or in a wandering room perfectly sums up this idea: “Be old, be new moon, give seed to good time.” We know the moon has its influence, but it's not going to do miracles. The important thing is to do the job well.
