full moon

Last night, up for a “body break” in the middle of the night, I noticed how bright the light was outside.  A full moon!

That means Easter is only one lunar cycle away — since, of course, Easter is the first Sunday affter the first full moon following the Vernal Equinox.  (Of course!  You knew that, right?)

Here’s your second trivia question of the day.  waxing moon

How do you know if the moon is waxing or waning?

The waxing moon forms a “D” — for Dios, who created  and fills the world.

waning moonThe waning moon forms a “C” — for Christos, whose life drained away when he died for us on the cross.

(This according to one of the characters in Barbara Kingsolver’s remarkable new novel, “The Lacuna.”)
