Friday there will be a blood red moon lasting about 100
minutes, centred on the exact time of full moon, which
will be 20:20 UTC/GMT, so it should be turning red
around moonrise in the Vatican. (But note that
the red moon won’t be visible in North America.)

That reminds me of this song:

Red Moon (by Bill Bourne, former member of The Tannahill Weavers)

Oh, the moon rose red this evening
The moon rose red tonight
The moon rose red this evening
Got a whole lot of people just a little bit uptight

Joseph he was a carpenter
Had his four kids and a wife
When the moon rose red this evening
Joseph was glad he was meek and wise

Vincent lived in a mansion
Celebration every night
When the moon rose red this evening
I think Mr. Vincent got a little bit uptight

[Francis] controlled the masses
He always tried to do everything just right
When the moon rose red this evening
I think even [Francis] got a little uptight

Mary she was a dancer
In a club down along the strip
When the moon rose red this evening
Our little Mary was workin' on a fifty dollar tip

(The original had John Paul instead of Francis and
was recorded by Bill Bourne and Shannon Johnson
on their 1994 album Dear Madonna.)
