These are dates of this
year's Holidays according to the true Biblical Calendar, based on the Abib (ripening
barley) and crescent New Moon.
March 23rd was the 1st day of the biblical
calendar year, based on the finding of Abib. See the Karaite’s website for information about Abib (barley) http://www.karaite-korner.org/abib.shtml.
