April's Full Moon

I am no expert on the traditions and history that come with the names of the moons. But I am learning and the monthly dinners are an outlet for others and I to learn more. Today starts a new moon which will lead to April's Full Pink Moon. The moon is called the pink moon because the pink flowers of the wild ground phlox are one of the fist spring flowers to bloom. The moon also goes by the Full Egg Moon. This is because the hormones of natural chickens are effected by daylight and therefore longer days means more eggs. Also the egg represents rebirth a natural theme for spring. Some other names are the Full Sprouting Grass Moon and the Full Fish Moon. Both also great reminders that spring may finally be here.

I urge anyone that is interested to do more research. Let me know any insight you may find. And we can all grow our knowledge of this part of lost tradition.
