The full moon rises in typically chilly mid-February. Stargazers can see it illuminate the skies in the early morning hours of Wednesday the 12th. The moon gets its chilly name from weather conditions during one of the snowiest months of the year. It’s also been called the wolf moon and candles moon: names that have European ties. For Buddhists, the moon corresponds with its second most important festival of the year, known as Māgha Pūjā.
