Friday, the second day of March. There was a full moon (called  a “Worm Moon”). in the early morning, the first full moon of the month. There will be another full moon this month, Saturday, 31^st March. That is called “a blue moon”. That is rare. There was no full moon in February but January and March had two full moons. That is even rarer (four times every century).

The second full moon of this month is important. Why? It’s used to fix the date for Easter. Easter is always the Sunday after the first full moon following the spring equinox. Equal day and night will be Tuesday 20^th March. The full moon will be Saturday 31^st March, so Easter Sunday will be the day after that, April Fools Day.
