Passover starts on the first full moon after spring equinox?
Passover starts on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of 'Nisan'. Prior to the establishment of the calculated calendar, which started during the Babylonian period although it wasn't finalised until much later, the beginning of Passover was determined by the first full moon after the spring equinox. However, Jewish holidays are determined by a mathematically calculated calendar that was fixed in the 4th century.Below is an answer provided by a Christian contributor and does not reflect modern Judaism nor the observance of Passover.The Jewish month is Nisan. It is the first month of the Jewish holiday cycle.Passover is the first day of the seven days of unleavened bread.Passover cannot be held until AFTER the moon is full.The moon must be full before sundown in Jerusalem, and that evening the Passover is observed.The Passover lamb is slain around 3pm the afternoon of the 14th of Nisan. It is then roasted. At sundown the Passover begins. This is the 15th day of Nisan. The 15th then begins the first day of unleavened bread and is also the day of Passover.There are many who believe the lamb was slain on the 13th of Nisan and then eaten after sundown which would be the 14th. This is not true. The lamb must be slain on the 14th or it is not the Passover lamb specified in the Laws of Moses (Torah).The rule to set Passover has been: the evening AFTER the first full moon that occurs after the spring equinox. The month is Nisan. The day is the 15th which begins at sundown ending the 14th.Happy Passover
When does Passover begin in the central time zone 2009?
Answer: Passover is set by the full moon in Jerusalem. The moon must be full before sundown and Passover follows that evening. The Jewish month is Abib/Nisan. This year, 2009, the Passover begins at sundown on the 9th of April in Jerusalem. As April 9th arrives in each time zone, those who celebrate the Passover will gather at sundown and observe. Sundown on the 9th of April is also the beginning of the 15th day of Abib/Nisan. So, the Passover begins and is the first day of seven days of unleavened bread. The Passover will take place after sundown in the Central Time Zone in America on the evening of the 9th of April. Sundown is considered when looking to the east the first star is seen. It appears sunset will be about 7:25pm in the Central Time Zone. The moon was full at 9:57am April 9, 2009. So Passover must fall after this on the next evening, which is sundown of the 9th. If you missed it this year, try observing it next year. The rule is, Passover is the first evening AFTER the first full moon after the spring equinox. This means after 7:25pm EST on April 9, 2009 you can observe the Passover.
