The Sign of Easter
The full “Pink Moon” can be witnessed on the night of April 1-2, 2026, with the lunar event expected to appear bright and nearly full throughout the night despite its peak occurring early in the morning. The Pink Moon will reach its peak on April 2 at 02:12 UTC.
In Christianity, it’s known as the Lenten Moon if it’s the last Full Moon of winter (before the spring equinox) or the Paschal Full Moon if it’s the first ecclesiastical Full Moon of spring (after the equinox). This year, April’s ecclesiastical Full Moon occurs after the ecclesiastical spring equinox, making it the Paschal Moon.
