WHY IS IT CALLED THE PINK MOON?

Every full moon has a unique name as Native Americans and other people have named the months from natural indications for a millennia.

The Native American names for full moons were first published by the Maine Farmers’ Almanac in the 1930s, and these names are still in common usage today.

April’s full moon, the “pink” moon, is named after the herb moss pink, also known as creeping phlox, moss phlox or mountain phlox.
