Full Pink Moon Tonight



Tonight's Full Pink Moon will also be a Super Moon!
Unfortunately, this moon will not be pink in appearance.

April's Full Moon is called the Paschal Full Moon, which is
the first full Moon that occurs on or after the Spring equinox,
and the first Full Moon before Easter.

The word, "Paschal" means "Passover" in Greek.

The Paschal Moon is ripe to-night

On fair Manhada's Bay

And soft it falls on Hoboken

As where the Saviour lay

And beams, beneath whose paly shine

Nile's troubling angel flew

Show many a blood besprinkled door

Of our Passover too.

Trinity Old Church Hymnal
(1840)
