A worm moon is in fact the traditional name for the March full moon, dating back to the medieval Europeans and Native American tribes who gave each month’s moon a different name, often reflecting the changes in nature. The Worm Moon gets its name from the earthworm which emerges in March. This is a sign of the end of winter and beginning of spring. The Worm Moon is the last full moon of winter. Also called as the Lenten Moon, refers to the Christian Lent period and Crow Moon, as the birds become more active after the winter, and the Sap or Sugar moon. Photos by Tony Fernandes.
