The last full moon of the year in December is called the Full Cold Moon or Moon before Yule.
Earlier this year, the super blood moon lit up the skies for the first time in three decades.

Pastor Mark Biltz, of Elshaddai Ministries, in Tacoma, Washington, predicted the Blood Moon - the last of four Blood Moon eclipses - was a sign from God the end was upon us after researching it from 2007.
He published the book 'Blood Moons: Decoding the Imminent Heavenly Signs' in March 2014 and speculated mankind was "at the door" before Rapture.

It explained how a 'tetrad' of blood moons, which began on April 15 last year, followed by another red-coloured lunar eclipse on October 8 last year, and a third on April 4 this year, would end on September 28 this year.
Pastor Biltz claims they all historically coincided with a globally significant event for Israel and believes that the latest will bring the "return of the Messiah".
