  Just for astronomical reference - a full moon is pretty much never 
  up during the day. A full moon will rise at sunset and set at 
  sunrise (or at least very close to those times - off the equator, 
  there is a little bit of leeway to work with, but not much).

  So the question doesn't arise in folklore - because it doesn't 
  happen.
