Description
The beautiful sight of the Crescent Moon appears in the sky each month and inspires us to think that it might be a cradle for our newly-born dreams, as various stars and planets appear within its cosmic container-shape. The ancient Wise Ones/Magi of Mesopotamia and ancient Persia celebrated the Crescent Moon each month. Today’s Tibetan monks have kept this tradition alive in their monthly religious activities and base their new year on this Moon, rather than the New Moon used by the Chinese.
