Easter, and therefore Holy Week, is movable: Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon after the vernal equinox.<br /><br />I'm not an expert on the vagaries of calendars, but according to my cursory research, on the Julian calendar (in use at the time of Christ), the vernal equinox was deemed to occur on March 25th; the summer solstice was deemed to take place on June 25th; and the winter solstice was deemed to take place on December 25th. This of course was regardless of the actual dates on which these events occurred, and the disparity between them gradually increased. I believe that was part of the reason for the Gregorian calendar reform.Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31669215.post-2038220558968063722014-03-22T23:09:51.671-06:002014-03-22T23:09:51.671-06:00Excellent post!

1. I am not publishing your comment....Dear Minnie,<br /><br />1. I am not publishing your comment. There is no Seventh-Day Adventist proselytizing on my blog.<br /><br />2. This post has absolutely nothing to do with celebrating the Lord's Day on Sunday, which makes your comment totally inapposite.<br /><br />3. Read St. Paul's Epistle to the Galatians. Galatians 5:6: <i>For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision: but faith that worketh by charity.</i>Anita Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11305092097247290243noreply@blogger.com
