Bedeutung
The lunar phase when fully illuminated.
Kultureller Hintergrund
The moon was the supreme deity in the ancient Georgian pantheon before the adoption of Christianity. The full moon was a time for major sacrifices and festivals. Many Georgians believe that hair should be cut during a waxing moon or full moon for better growth, and that the full moon can cause insomnia. Traditional winemakers often look at the lunar cycle. Some believe that racking the wine should be done during specific moon phases, including the full moon, to ensure clarity. In Georgian poetry, the full moon is the ultimate symbol of a woman's beauty, often compared to the 'glowing face' of a beloved.
