First day of Passover on Sunday is a major pain, as one is required to eat bread for the Shabbat meal (since one cannot eat Matza the day before) which means one must finish the day Shabbat meal by 9:30/10 or so. And there is the problem of disposing of the leftovers, as one cannot burn them on Shabbat. I believe that it occurs less than the statistically expected 25% of the time. But even when it does occur on Sunday, the Xian rules move it to the next Sunday. :>-----Original Message----- :>From: Binyamin Dissen <[email protected]> :>Sender: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> :>Date: Sat, 25 Dec 2010 22:03:18 :>To: <[email protected]> :>Reply-To: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> :>Subject: Re: Paging Jay Maynard :>On Fri, 24 Dec 2010 02:43:47 +0000 Ted MacNEIL <[email protected]> wrote: :>:>>Easter is now celebrated on same day as Passover. :>:>Actually, no. :>:>Easter is a Sunday. :>:>Passover is a Thursday or Friday. :>Passover can start (using the modern calendar) on Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday or :>Shabbat.
