Full Moon? Hey you guys, there is ALWAYS a full moon on the night of the
Passover!!! LOL You guys need to bone up on your calendar lore--the
Jewish calendar is what is known as a solar-lunar calendar--Lunar, because each
Jewish month begins with a new moon. Solar, because it is kept in
sync with the Vernal (Spring) Equinox by adding a lunar month every six
years. The first month of the calendar, called Nisan, begins with the new
moon closest to the Vernal Equinox, and then the Passover is always held on 15
Nisan. Since a lunar month averages 30 days, this places the Passover
smack dab in the middle of the month--when the moon is at full
phase!! Always. Take my word for it, as an old
Mormon boy who holds a temple recommend!
LOL
