Full Pink Moon ~ April 4, 5:06 a.m. PDT ...April's full moon is the "Pink" moon, so called because the grass pink [wild ground Phlox] is one of the earliest flowers to bloom in Spring. Other names for this moon were the Full Sprouting Grass Moon and the Egg Moon. Among coastal tribes, it was called the Full Fish Moon, when the shad came upstream to spawn. It is also known as the Seed Moon, Planter's Moon, Grass Moon and Flower Moon. The Dakota Sioux call it the Moon When Geese Return in Scattered Formation. The Illinois call it the Do Nothing Moon. The Oto call it the Little Frogs Croak Moon. This month will also feature a total lunar eclipse, which is set to occur early in the morning with the duration of totality lasting less than 5 minutes. This is also the Paschal Full Moon, the first full moon of the spring season. The first Sunday following the Paschal Moon is Easter Sunday, which will be observed the next day on Sunday, April 5.
