Tomorrow Wednesday (April 24, 2024) at 2:49 a.m. the “pink full moon,” also known as the “Easter Moon,” will peak.
The Pink Full Moon or April Full Moon is named after the pink North American Phlox subulata wildflowers that often bloom at this time.
Therefore, the name “Pink Moon” does not describe the color that the full moon will have, but the specific name arose on the occasion of the flowering of the plant in question with its pink flowers.
What other names are used for the pink moon?
The Moon That Breaks the Ice
The Moon of plants and shrubs
The Moon where the currents are buoyant again
The Moon showing the red grass
The Frog Moon.
The “pink moon” also coincides with many religious holidays. In the Christian church calendar it is called the “Easter moon”, as it is the full moon before the Orthodox Easter.

May 23: Flower Moon
June 21: Strawberry moon
July 21: Buck moon
August 19: Sturgeon Moon
September 17: Harvest Moon
