There’s a moon out tonight wah wah wahooooo.As we keep our eyes toward the heavens I think that it is a shame that we have abandoned much of our astronomical symbolism for fear that it may be construed as something New Age-ish. When my class was looking to put a coat of arms together one of the suggestions contained a moon and stars. This was rejected not so much because it was disliked but because it “sent the wrong message and looked too much like something that Shirley McClain might be interested in.” Oh, perhaps they were right.
The crescent moon has been a traditional symbol of Mary, the woman, “clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet” (Revelation 12:1). The full moon also often represents Mary for it explains her glory. It is not from her own merit but that she se well reflects her glorious Son the same way that the moon creates no light of its own bur reflects the radiance of the sun.
Often at night I look up at the moon and say a prayer asking for Mary’s intercession for acquaintances all around the globe that she can offer as her symbols roles around the night sky.

Turn from sin, and place faith and trust in Christ alone
James 2:19 You believe there is a God good even demons do
