Easter is calculated as the first Sunday after the paschal full moon . Last year I took a picture of the full moon as Easter approached. Tonight I got a call from a friend who called to remind me that the paschal full moon would be seen tonight so I again took a picture.

Last Sunday was Palm Sunday. Today is probably the day that Jesus had the "last supper" and then went to Gethsemane the garden at the foot of the Mount of Olives in Jerusalem whose name means "oil press". According to Luke 22:43–44, Jesus' anguish in Gethsemane was so deep that "his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground and it was here that the Atonement was made.
