 | | According to the Gospel of John (for example John 19:14), this was the Friday that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem, the Synoptic Gospels place the Friday on 15 Nisan. |
 | | Many churches of the East, particularly those in Asia Minor, celebrated their Passover at the close of the 14th of Nisan regardless of the day of the week on which it fell, while many other churches, including the Church of Rome, celebrated Passover on the first day of the week following the 14th of Nisan. |
 | | A peculiar offshoot of the Quartodecimanians was the rigidly ascetic Audians, who likewise held that the passover must be kept at the very same time (not after the same manner) with the Jews, on the fourteenth of Nisan, and for their authority appealed to their edition of the Apostolic Constitutions. |
