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.
