The incredible weather our area has had this month has provided both a mix of seasons and some amazing views. This last week before the month of March begins, we have even witnessed rainbows.

Maybe it’s just us, but seeing rainbows with St. Patrick’s Day around the corner seems special.

The ancient Greeks believed rainbows were bridges that connected the world of the gods with that of humans. Christian traditions teach rainbows symbolize a promise from God to mankind starting with Noah. And Irish customs view rainbows as fortuitous. Maybe it has something to do with that pot of gold at the end!

Rainbows also have interesting science behind them. No two people see a rainbow exactly the same way because of their position and perspective. And rainbows are full circles. Because of the horizon, we only see the positive arch of a rainbow!
