How is it that Easter is almost a full month BEFORE Passover?

First you have the equinox, then a full moon.... first Sunday after that is Easter. It just so happens that the full moon was really quick this time around.

If you really thought Easter was about Jesus,,, well, then no wonder you are confused.

That is the way it is determined but it is wrong. Passover takes place 14 days after the spring equinox. Ont he 15th day is the first day of the passover. It is also the day Jesus partook of the last supper.
His death was on that same day and His resurrection was on the third day after that.

Because Jesus was hip to the Pagans?

Can someone explain to me how Easter is almost a full month BEFORE Passover this year. Jesus supposedly had his passover meal before he was crucified. I'm confused.

Because Easter is a celebration and not an anniversary, and the institutions (!) that control the celebration have chosen an algorithm that repeats the pattern of dates only every 5,700,000 years.

It has to do with 2008 being a leap year.

Thus the Jewish lunar calendar must coordinate with the cycle of the sun and the seasons which are determined by the solar orbit. The problem is that a lunar year, twelve lunar months added together, only adds up to about 354.4 days.4 A solar year, at almost 365.25 days,5 is nearly eleven days longer. If no adjustment is made, Passover would occur eleven days earlier each year, eventually drifting into winter, then fall, summer, and then spring again.

The solution is to periodically insert an extra (thirty-day) month into a year, creating a thirteen-month year. Such a year is called a shanah meuberet ("pregnant year") in Hebrew; in English we call it a leap year, and it makes up all the lunar calendar's lost days. It happens about once every three years.

The month is added to Adar, the last of the twelve months. On leap years we observe two Adars -- Adar I and Adar II.

Thus, the Jewish calendar is both lunar and solar; the months are lunar months while the years are solar years. This is in contrast to the Gregorian calendar, in which the year is a solar year and the months are formed by dividing a year into twelve parts, and is also quite different from the pure lunar calendar observed by certain religions, in which each month is determined by the moon and a year is simply twelve lunar months strung together.

Because Easter is a pagan ritual not the true passover of our Christ.

The true passover is on the fourth of April this year. Not easter and also NOT the 20th as the calenders say.

The equinox has nothing to do with when the new year begins according to the bible.

The ripened barley & the following new moon determines when the year begins. (Ex. 9:31-33, 12:2)

Jesus was put in the tomb as the Passover meals were being eaten that year. He did NOT partake of the Passove that year. He had the "Last Supper" with his disciples the night before the Passover. Anyone who has prepared a Passover meal knows that it is a HUGE meal & takes hours of preparation. That is why the disciples asked where shall we go to prepare the Passover meal. Killing the lamb or goat, skinning it, taken out all the insides, etc. takes the majority of an afternoon & a few hours to cook it.

The Passover that year was on a Wednesday, he died as the the last Passover lamb was slain for the Passover meals. He was placed in the tomb about sunset Wednesday. (John) He rose from the dead about sunset Saturday afternoon.

Read Matt. 5:17-20. Jesus said he would be 3 days & 3 nights in the heart of the earth just as Jonah was 3 days & 3 nights in the belly of the great fish.

Exactly right. Finally, someone that knows when passover really happens. - 14 days after the first day of spring at sundown starts the passover - always, every year.

For all you others that don't - read Exodus chapter 12.

Then come back and I will explain it to you.

Just reread Exodus chapter 12.

Nowhere does it mention the first day of spring.

It mentions the 14th day of the first month. The months BEGAN with the sighting of the first sliver (new) moon.

It's a gory holiday anyway. Celebrating the death of Jesus?

Since nobody of his thousands and thousands and thousands of supposed "followers" even bothered to jot down the exact date of his supposed death and "rebirth", I am in the camp of those that believe that the dude NEVER existed and was just a roman/jewish/masonic creation to centerpiece their entirely created slave religion.
