Unfortunately, despite it having a delicious-sounding name, it does not necessarily mean the moon will be turning strawberry red. It is actually just the name given to June’s full moon by Native Americans. Native Americans published the names for all the full moons in the 1930s Maine Farmer’s Almanac. The reason June’s full moon was named after the fruit was because of the relatively short harvesting season for strawberries in northeastern North America. June’s full moon is also known as the last full moon of spring. In Europe it is also known as the Mead Moon, Honey Moon or Rose Moon. June’s full moon is named due to harvesting reasons. But there are also those who believe the Strawberry Moon signals the end of the world. Pastor Tim Henderson believes the Strawberry Moon will spark the end of days – or The Rapture. The Rapture is an event where many Christians believe the son of God will return. It is believed when this happens believers who are “alive and remain shall be caught up together… in the clouds to see the Lord in the air”. The Rapture ill happen in “the twinkling of an eye”, and all believers will disappear from Earth up to Heaven.
