FULL PINK MOON AND POTLUCK

http://photos2.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/5/0/4/8/event_226100552.jpegThis month’s full moon is most commonly known as the Pink Moon. It is also known as the Seed Moon, Planter’s Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Grass Moon, Flower Moon, Egg Moon, Fish Moon, and Moon When Geese Return in Scattered Formation (Dakota Sioux). The Illinois native Americans call it the Do Nothing Moon.

April’s name is believed to be derived from Latin word Aprilis which is derived from the Latin word “aperire” meaning to open. This “opening” refers to the budding of plants. April’s full moon usually plays a role in determining Passover and Easter. For example Easter occurs on the first Sunday after the first full moon (Paschal Full Moon) after the spring equinox. Those “early” Easters occur when the full moon occurs in March after the spring equinox as it did this year.
