The Moon continues to brighten the evening sky this week, waxing to her Full phase on the 17th at 10:44 pm Eastern Daylight Time.  April’s Full Moon is popularly known as the Grass Moon or Egg Moon in Native American skylore, but it also happens to be a very important marker in the religious calendars of Jews and Christians.  Known as the Paschal Moon, it sets the beginning of Passover and fixes the date of Easter.
