When is paschal moon

Germantown, Md. When I was growing up, we were taught that Easter each year would always be the first Sunday after the last full moon in March. What happened to this idea? Were we misled about this, or over time was it changed???

Sounds like someone gave you the wrong information as a kid. This year marks the latest Easter since Moon Phase Calendar. Email Facebook 8 Pinterest Twitter. About the author Related Posts.

The Paschal Full Moon is related to ceremony with older roots in earlier systems. With the themes, of course, of death and rebirth. I recently realised, going back over diaries and work notebooks, that March is where I often feel at my lowest. During bouts of depression, March is often when I feel most vulnerable and often suicidal. This is all very interesting and I plan on reading up on this as much as possible.

Thanks again for your always interesting posts. Sending you a big hug, Bec. Interested to hear more of the results of your reflections and research. Lots of love. Thank you so much Izzie. Your posts are always refreshing and nourishing, with that touch of lunar poetic grace.

In my case I lost most of my important music data crash this month and have to really embrace the change and the renewal of all this work. Your post is fully inspiring. Greetings from Paris. Saluting your approach on the data crash, Lola. Thanks for writing and lunar poetry- happy to take that on anytime!

Thanks Ezzie xxx. Ah yes- it may well be time to cultivate greater discernment collectively! How curious. I had never heard of the Paschal moon but it makes so much sense in my life. I am a Pisces with a March birthday so this time of year is always big for me.
