What is Pink Moon and Rose Moon

As said above, pink moon is the full moon of April month. This full moon is generally the first or the second full moon of the spring season. It is also known as Fish Moon, Egg moon, Passover Moon and Paschal Moon, and Rose Moon.

The name Pink Moon is derived from the appearance of a moss caused by a herb that appears in spring season. The herb is found in USA and mostly in the eastern parts. It is one of the first flowers that appear in spring in the eastern America. The name has nothing to do with the colour of the actually moon.

The full moons of the March and April are the fully illuminated moons of spring season. This year, the first day of spring is on 20th March and the full moon March is on 28th March. Hence, the pink moon is not the very first full moon after spring equinox. Due to this, the full moon of March is known as the paschal moon and hence the Easter date is 4th April; the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring season. Keep following our blog to know all the full moon dates of the year.
