April is the fourth month of the year and consists of 30 days. In the Northern Hemisphere, April is a part of the growing season. The sun warms the earth, awakening the plants and blossoms and leaves “open” bright and new.
April is the second month of spring and on the lips of many is the old saying “April showers bring May flowers.” The chilly winds and damp weather are not yet done. April then is a hopeful month showing the promise of beauty in the not-too-distant future. In the Southern Hemisphere, fall begins.
The Easter holiday most often falls during April. Easter is the commemoration of the death and resurrection of Jesus. Many of the rituals surrounding its celebration have a pagan origin including hiding easter eggs. Eggs are a symbol of fertility and new life.
April’s full moon is called the Pink Moon and represents the pink phlox flower that blooms in April. When the Pink Moon is also the first full moon of spring it is called the Paschal moon.
