In Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia we can see this snapshot of the full moon in Cardona, precisely in a perspective in which it appears protected by the Monument to the Defenders of 1714.
The full moon in April is known as the Pink Moon or Pascual Moon, as it coincides with Easter. It is the first of spring, so it also marks the dates of Easter.
The reference to the "pink moon" does not refer to its color, but rather comes from Native American tradition associating it with the flowering of a North American native plant, pink moss or Phlox subulata, which blooms in shades of pink in spring.
The September 11 commemorative sculpture is an architectural element located in the Fira de Dalt square. It is a monumental fountain that commemorates the surrender of the Cardona castle and this villa del bages, in 1714, to the troops of Felipe V.
April's full moon occurs at the closest time between our natural satellite and planet Earth, making it appear larger and brighter.
