The birthstones of March are aquamarine and bloodstone—both of which symbolize courage and strength. The dense amount of March holidays make it a great time for creators to use funky, fresh and bright design elements, and content that are in line with spring time and all its wonders. Some of the more prominent March holidays of this month include International Women’s Day, Holi, St Patrick’s, First Day of Spring, and Purim. The month is named after Mars, the Roman god of war and is the first month of the early Roman calendar.
