From the house plot in the town of Altet, in Urgell, I have captured these images for Las Fotos de los Lectores de La Vanguardia in which we can see how the full Easter moon has set.
Looking to the west, we can see how the moon bridges and daylight comes, in a sequence of fast-motion images. In total, only ten seconds that show us a lot.
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.
This full moon occurs at the closest moment between our natural satellite and planet Earth, so the moon appears larger and brighter to us.
