The Century and the Millennium In 1999 the Paschal Moon is on March 31 (with Easter on April 4), but the April Full Moon falls on April 30, a month later. The actual Paschal Moon occurs on April 18th (Gregorian Easter is April 23rd), so we end up with four Full Moons during the Winter of 1999-2000. In 1999 the Paschal Moon itself would be, by the calendrical month rule, a Blue Moon, and the Lenten Moon would coincide with, indeed, the astronomical Lenten Moon on March 2. www.friesian.com /century.htm

Millennium Mistake For the time being the corrected Alexandrian dates of Paschal full moon stated in column C of table 2 may be regarded as roughly estimated Jewish dates of Paschal full moon. Jesus died in any as yet unknown calendar year either (according to the fourth gospel) on the day of the Paschal full moon (see section 2) or one day later (according to the three synoptic gospels). table 1), as a solid starting point required for their calculations not with the Jewish date of Paschal full moon (the fourteenth day of the first month of the whimsical Jewish calendar) but with what amounts to the date of the fourteenth sunset in Alexandria after the first Newmoon after 7 March (or something equivalent). www.millenniummistake.net /tekst6.htm

Richard Steiner's Website Rules for computing the date of Easter Easter is supposed to be the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon, which is the first full moon on or after 21 March; but the date of the Paschal full moon is actually obtained from rules rather than observation. Let the year be AD Y, and let the Paschal full moon fall on the R th day of March (meaning the ( R -31)th day of April if R >31). The position of Y in the cycle is given by the golden number G, which is 1 when Y is a multiple of 19, increases by 1 each year until it reaches 19, and then jumps back to 1; thus www.maths.gla.ac.uk /~rjs/EasterRules.html

Ecclesiastical new moon The Paschal full moon is the ecclesiastical full moon following the ecclesiastical vernal equinox. Easter is defined as the first Sunday after the Paschal full moon. Neither the ecclesiastical new moon nor the ecclesiastical full moon necessarily correlate with an observable phenomenon. pedia.newsfilter.co.uk /wikipedia/e/ec/ecclesiastical_new_moon.html

Blue Moons Since the identity of the moons was important in the ecclesiastical calendar (the Paschal Moon, for example, used to be crucial for determining the date of Easter), a year with a thirteenth moon skewed the calendar, since there were names for only twelve moons. The more recent phenomenon, where the blue moon is considered to be the second full moon in a calendar month, last occurred on Nov. 30, 2001. Two full moons in one month may occur in any month out of the year except for February, which is shorter than the lunar cycle. www.infoplease.com /spot/bluemoon1.html

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Epact The full moon will therefore happen a little after midnight in the eastern districts, so that Easter, if regulated strictly by the paschal full moon, must be kept on one Sunday in the western and on the following Sunday in the eastern districts of the same city. As in the Julian calendar the months had lost all their original reference to the moon, the early Christians were compelled to use the Metonic Lunar Cycle of the Greeks to find the fourteenth day of the paschal moon. Consequently, since this month always began with that new moon of which the fourteenth day occurred on or next after the vernal equinox, Christ arose from the dead on Sunday, the seventeenth day of the so-called paschal moon. www.newadvent.org /cathen/05480b.htm

Dating Pascha in the Orthodox Church According to the 19-year Paschal cycle, the first full moon which comes after April 3 this year is on May 1 (April 18 on the Julian Calendar) - the day assigned to the Jewish Passover as calculated originally. Depending upon the number of years in the cycle, the full moon occurred on the same day of the year as at the beginning of the cycle with some exceptions. One of its conclusions was that the present differences in the calendars and lunar tables (paschal cycles) employed rather than to differences in fundamental theological outlook. www.goarch.org /en/ourfaith/articles/article7050.asp

Computus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The method for computing the date of the ecclesiastic Full Moon that was standard for the Latin (Catholic) church before the Gregorian calendar reform, made use of an uncorrected repetition of the 19-year The cycle of Sunday letters however does not repeat in 7 years: because of the interruptions of the leap day every 4 years, the full cycle in which weekdays recur in the calendar in the same way, is 4 × 7 = 28 years: the so-called Solar Cycle. It has also sometimes erroneously been called the Dionysian cycle, after Dionysius Exiguus who prepared Easter tables that started in AD 532 ; but he apparently did not realize that the Alexandrian computus which he described had a 532-year cycle, although he did realize that his 95-year table was not a true cycle. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Computus

easter-date Note that if the moon is full on March 21st, it was new 13 days earlier on March 8th. To deal with the lunar cycle requires (at least!) another article -- and no Easter algorithm (post Nicaea) can be constructed that doesn't have some reference to the moon. the new moons of a new cycle are about an hour and a half earlier than the previous ones. www.cs.rutgers.edu /pub/soc.religion.christian/faq/easter-date

Blue Moons Since the identity of the moons was important in the ecclesiastical calendar (the Paschal Moon, for example, used to be crucial for determining the date of Easter), a year with a thirteenth moon skewed the calendar, since there were names for only twelve moons. For a blue moon to occur, the first of the full moons must appear at or near the beginning of the month so that the second will fall within the same month (the average span between two moons is 29.5 days). The other, older blue moon event, which happens when there are four full moons in a season, last occured in August 2005. www.factmonster.com /spot/bluemoon1.html   (856 words)

Ecclesiastical new moon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia This fourteenth day was loosely called the Paschal full moon by medieval computists. Medieval authors equated the ecclesiastical new moon with a new crescent moon, but it is not a phase of the true moon.

Since the identity of the moons was important in the ecclesiastical calendar (the Paschal Moon, for example, used to be crucial for determining the date of Easter), a year with a thirteenth moon skewed the calendar, since there were names for only twelve moons. Since February is usually 28 days long, and the average span between full moons is 29.5 days, if a full moon occurs at the end of January, it's possible for the next full moon to skip February entirely and fall in the beginning of March. www.infoplease.com /spot/bluemoon1.html   (1037 words)

Astronomical Information - Easter Sunday The date for Easter was set by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to be the first Sunday after the Paschal Full Moon (first full moon which falls after the Spring Equinox at the longitude of Venice). If the full moon falls on Sunday, Easter is not that day, but the following Sunday. To make Easter Sunday one specific Sunday for all locations, the location for the determination was specified to be the longitude of Venice. www.hourworld.com /easter.htm   (1037 words)

Dating Pascha in the Orthodox Church Christians, therefore, celebrated Pascha according to the same calculation-that is, on the first Sunday after the first full moon following the vernal equinox. Hence, the determination of the date of Pascha is governed by a process dependent on the vernal equinox and the phase of the moon. This was an alternative to calculating Pascha by the Passover and consisted in the creation of so-called "paschal cycles." Each paschal cycle corresponded to a certain number of years. www.goarch.org /en/ourfaith/articles/article7050.asp   (1351 words)

Computus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The canonical rule is that Easter Sunday is the first Sunday after the 14th day of the lunar month (the nominal full moon) that falls on or after 21 March (nominally the day of the vernal equinox). For determining the feast, Christian churches settled on a method to define a reckoned "ecclesiastic" Moon, rather than observations of the true Moon like the Jews did. This Paschal Cycle is also called the Victorian Cycle, after Victorius of Aquitaine who introduced it in Rome in AD It is first known to have been used by Annianus of Alexandria at the beginning of the fifth century. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Computus   (4149 words)

calendar. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05 The paschal, or Easter, moon is the full moon, the 14th day of which falls after (but not on) Mar. 21. Reckoning of day and year was considered necessary by many ancient peoples to determine sacred days, to arrange plans for the future, and to keep some intelligible record of the past. These three were the Kalends (1st day of the month), the Nones (the 7th day in March, May, July, and October, the 5th in the other months), and the Ides (the 15th day in March, May, July, and October, the 13th in the other months). bartleby.com /65/ca/calendar.html   (2108 words)
