Subject: Re: Early Easter
We don't know when the Last Supper would have been without fixing the
year of the Crucifixion, so the date is an open question.
And Passover is determined by a fixed date in the Hebrew calendar, Nisan
15. Because that calendar is lunisolar, that date tends to fall around
the Paschal full moon, but it is an approximation based on calculations,
not observation. Those calculations are different from the Easter
calculations, so sometimes yield different results. The Gregorian
correction is said to have been adjusted one day to minimize
Easter/Passover conjunctions.
KARL SAYS: In addition, the Hebrew Calendar, unlike the Gregorian
Lunisolar Calendar used to reckon Easter, does not correct the 19-year
Metonic cycle.
Suppose at the time of Jesus, the Hebrew Calendar were to place the
month of Nisan so that its full moon is always the first full moon after
the spring equinox, then today its full moon would be the first full
moon after some day later than the spring equinox and this year after
the coming full moon.
Happy New Moon!
