Calendars

[Note: In order to view the next year’s spring to spring calendar year you must refresh your browser!!!  Please go to the top of your screen next to the address bar.  The browser is the 3/4 circle with an arrow on it, then click it.  In order to see new or updated material on any website including this one, you must refresh your browser often (daily). In the spring thousands of folks flock to the calendar pages, but go away disappointed because they don’t see the newly posted calendar for the next year.  All the while, it is a simple matter of refreshing their browser. The new calendars are posted in the winter.  If after refreshing your browser the next year is still not visible, it is because it has not yet been posted.]

New Year’s Day 2020, the true Rosh HaShanah in the spring, will occur on 04-08-2020.

Passover 2020 will occur on 04-21-2020.

This year will be a thirteen-month year.  For info on thirteen-month years and the Metonic cycle, click HERE.

Please remember these calendars represent the Pacific Standard Time Zone only.  Meaning that depending upon your time zone the New Moon Day and the four successive Sabbaths may occur on the previous day or the day following. This reality occurs because the arbitrary man-made International Dateline in the Pacific Ocean continues to regulate the Gregorian calendar. Most often the New Moon Day will cross over two Gregorian dates in a 24-hour lunar cycle. (Refer to illustration.) Because the full moon is mobile, the Creator’s Lunar International Dateline (CLID) is mobile, causing the true lunar dateline to occur in a different location each month based upon the observable full New Moon location. The easiest way to convert the calendar to your own Time Zone is with this UTC – TIME ZONE CONVERSION CHART. 

Vernal Equinox – The Vernal Equinox occurs on March 19, 2020.  

Personal Observation – When weather permits, personal observation of each full New Moon cannot be overstated. 

Go to: United States Naval Observatory website or www.timeanddate.com  make sure through a comparison that in your time zone the first rays of the sun at sunrise occur at least 5 minutes prior to moonset.  Read more . . .UTC – TIME ZONE CONVERSION CHART.
