June's full moon, set to occur Saturday, is known as the 'Strawberry Moon.' But it's not necessarily because of the moon's reddish color.
This Saturday's full moon gets its name from the seasonal berries. But it's not necessarily because of the moon's reddish color.
According to the almanac, the name"Strawberry Moon" comes from a number of sources. And although moons typically appear reddish near they horizon, the June moon's name is more about the berries themselves. "This 'Strawberry Moon' name has been used by Native American Algonquian tribes that live in the northeastern United States as well as the Ojibwe, Dakota, and Lakota peoples," the post says,"to mark the ripening of 'June-bearing' strawberries that are ready to be gathered."
"As flowers bloom and early fruit ripens, June is a time of great abundance for many," the post continues.
