The April full moon also goes by other names including the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and the Full Fish Moon.

A full "pink moon" is slated to illuminate Metro Vancouver toward the end of April - but you won't see a rosy glow in the region. The April moon derives its name from "heralding the appearance of the 'moss pink,' or wild ground phlox—one of the first spring flowers," describes The Old Farmer's Almanac. Native peoples would give distinctive names to each reoccurring full moon to mark the change of seasons.

The moon will reach maximum fullness at 4:48 p.m. on Tuesday, April 23, according to timeanddate.com. Will April's full moon be considered the paschal moon again? Last year, the April full lunar offering was also known as the Paschal Full Moon because it was the moon that occurred after the spring equinox on March 21. According to Christian observers the full "paschal moon" determines when Easter is held.
