Why is the 2016 memorial of Christ's death a month before the Jewish Passover is celebrated?
The modern-day Jewish calendar has a leap year periodically that adds an extra month, so the Passover is a month after Christians recognize the day of Jesus' death in 2016. The memorial of Christ's death is celebrated by Christians according to the way the calendar was back in Jesus' day, and that he died on the first full moon after the Spring Equinox on Nisan 14.In 2016, the Spring Equinox is March 20, and the first full moon is the 23rd. That is why the 2016 Memorial of Jesus Christ's death is on March 23 and that would have been Nisan 14 back before 70 CE. The Jewish, however, start celebrating the Passover on April 22 in 2016, which is Nisan 14-15 according to the modern calendar. The modern-day Jewish calendar was instituted some time after the death of Christ and after the destruction of the temple.
