Other names include the wolf moon, candle moon, and candles moon, the latter tied to Candlemas, a Christian holiday on February 2.
For Buddhists, February’s full moon corresponds with Māgha Pūjā, their second most important festival of the year. Additionally, it marks the final day of the Chinese Lunar New Year and the Lantern Festival, celebrated with vibrant displays of light.
If you miss the Snow Moon in February don’t worry! The next full moon, known as the Worm Moon, will rise in the early morning on March 14, so skywatchers can once again bask in the light of a full moon.
