The "Pink Moon" doesn't really shine pink.

As is so often the case, there are several stories about the origin of the name.

Most common, however, is that the Native Americans gave the full moon this name in April because that is when the phlox flower blooms and it is pink.

There are also different interpretations of the meaning of the “Pink Moon”.

The natives of North America are said to have seen it as a sign of renewal and rebirth.

Accordingly, the blooming of flowers was associated with the celestial phenomenon, as
