AUGUST FULL MOON

                                      






 

Last night, everyone living in the northern hemisphere watched the magic of the August Full Moon, which is called a “blue full moon” not because of its colour but because it is the second full moon in one month.

 

In the States it is called the “Sturgeon Full Moon” and the Harvest Full Moon”.








A number of free cultural events took place last night in Greece’s archaeological sites and museums to meet the full moon’s celebrations.

 

According to the announcements by the Ministry of Culture, admission to 52 events including concerts, theatre, and dance performances, poetry readings, documentary screenings, art exhibitions, stargazing events, and guided tours were free of charge.

 

Moreover, 120 archaeological sites, monuments, and museums remained open until late at night.

 

All the events were carried out in accordance with the health and safety protocol set by  the Greek authorities for the operation of archaeological sites and museums to prevent the spread of Covid-19.
