Full Pink Paschal Moon Tonight

 


 "Praise Him, O sun and moon; praise Him, all you shining stars."

 This month's Full Pink Moon will rise in the sky tonight at 10:12 pm EST.
 Lovely Luna's appearance will mark the first Full Moon of springtime and 
as the Paschal, or Easter Moon, she will determine the date of the holiday
 which this year will be on April 5th.

By the way, as she sails up into the sky tonight, the moon's color 
will be a lovely golden hue, not pink!  And that's no April foolin'!

Why is April's Moon called "The Pink Moon"?

According to the folks at The Old Farmer's Almanac, the name comes from
an early wildflower native to North America called Phlox, or, "Moss Pink"
which is in full bloom around the time of the full moon in April. 

 🌕I hope the skies are clear where you're at tonight!🌕
