 Hello! Can someone please tell me when Passover falls this year?  I looked it up and some say Monday April 14 and others say Tuesday April 15, which is correct?   Why the different dates?  When is the WMS celebrating it?  Thank You!

That's absolutely not true. They start the ceremony at the relative twighlight. Otherwise, Sabbath would have services on both Friday and Saturday.

 Not for the large Passover celebrations. They base it upon the time it be started in Korea which is generally a day earlier than the traditional Hebrew calendar. Sabbath is determined locally not from Korea.

I guess I still don't understand why the wmscog is celebrating it on Sunday, April 13th.  Monday April 14 would be the day before the traditional Hebrew celebration, wouldn't it?  But they are doing it Sunday.

New moon march 30+14 days is April 13

I forgot to mention the problem with their calculation

before anyone thinks I’m validating them

They interpret new moon when the moon is completely in shadow as opposed to the first sliver of the moon being visible after that as is actually meant

In other words "no moon is new moon" 🙂

 What day is it in Korea?

Well, it's 17 hours ahead, so it is Monday, I think.
