THE FULL PINK MOON - this is a stand-in for the real thing.
----------------------------------------------
Good Friday, April 6, 2012 - Today is the full moon.

April 6, 2012 - 10:21 a.m. EDT -- Full Pink Moon. The grass pink, or wild ground phlox, is one of the earliest widespread flowers of spring. Other names for this month's moon were the Full Sprouting Grass Moon, the Egg Moon, and — among coastal tribes — the Full Fish Moon, when the shad came upstream to spawn. 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 indeed will be observed two days later on Sunday, April 8.
**********************************************
Here's what I learned many years ago: Easter is the first Sunday (April 8) after the first full moon (April 6) after the vernal equinox (March 20).

Happy 95th birthday to Uncle Malvin. see ya later, djb
