Nisan 14 is significant for Jehovah's Witnesses in 2017 because it marks the date of the annual observance of the Memorial of Christ's death. This event is considered one of the most important in the Jehovah's Witness faith, as it commemorates Jesus' sacrifice for mankind's sins.

You would likely locate it by looking in the phone directory in the yellow pages under church..by the way, i noticed a remark about Jehovah's Witnesses making a mistake about the memorial date as Nisan 14 instead of Nisan 15..the Witnesses use this date because the Jews used their measured their day from sundown to sundown...then, on Nisan 14 the lamb was slaughtered to be consumed that night which most nights are about 12 hours long at that time..plenty of time to slaughter the passover sacrifice and to eat it and that corresponds to Christ being sacrificed during that 24 hour period of time of the passover...so then when people use Nisan 15 it is still actually 14 until sundown when Christ was taken down from the torture stake which had to be done before sundown Nisan 14...then Nisan 15 starts at sundown..

Nisan
Since they were gathered to celebrate the Jewish Passover, it is easy to determine the date for the annual observance. The Jewish passover was instituted to commemorate the night where the Israelites were spared of the "tenth plague" resulting in their freedom from their Egyptian bondage. The date was Nisan 14, in the year 1513 BC. (The original name for Nisan was Abib) This celebration continued for 15 centuries after the Exodus to Jesus time, and is still celebrated today among those of the Jewish Faith. So today, Jehovah's Witnesses use the Jewish calendar to calculate when the modern day equivalent of Nisan 14 is. According to the February 2011 Watchtower magazine, "Nisan 1 starts when the new moon nearest the spring equinox (the start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere) becomes visible at sunset in Jerusalem. If we count 14 days from that event, we arrive at Nisan 14. This date is usually the day of the full moon." Using this Biblical method, the next Memorial (Nissan 14) that Jehovah's Witnesses will commemorate will occur on Friday, April 3, 2015.
