The ‘Pink Full Moon’, also known as the Wesak Full Moon for those who follow Tibetan and Buddhist traditions, is an important occasion.

In Buddhism, it is celebrated as Buddha Day, symbolizing the supposed day when Siddhartha Gautama descended to Earth to bless all living beings. Buddhists often visit temples to commemorate and celebrate enlightenment, teachings, and community.
It is important to note that the Wesak Full Moon does not necessarily occur on a specific day. In 2023, for example, it was observed on the 5th of the month. This ‘pink’ event occurs monthly on the fourth full moon of the year, always in April.
The full moon is one of the eight lunar phases, marked by the round and illuminated face of the Moon visible from Earth. Considered the most striking phase, during the full moon, most of the sunlight is reflected onto the Moon towards Earth. This makes it more difficult to observe other celestial objects, such as stars and planets, due to the moon’s brightness, as described by the Encyclopedia Britannica.
