Organized by Urban Shaman Donna Henes, participants gather at the South Street Seaport in New York on Saturday, March 20, 2010 to welcome the arrival of spring by standing raw eggs on end. At the precise moment of the Spring Equinox, this year at 1:32PM, a raw egg can be stood on its end bringing good luck for the rest of the year. Henes has been organizing this event for 35 years.
