Holidays and New Moons 2005

These are dates of this year's Holidays according to the true Biblical Calendar, based on the Abib (ripening barley) and crescent New Moon.

This schedule is IF "abib" is found by March 11th, 2005. If "abib" is not found we will have a 13th month and there will be a different schedule.  See the Karaite’s website for information about Abib (barley)  http://www.karaite-korner.org/abib.shtml. Also for Abib FAQ   http://www.karaite-korner.org/abib_faq.shtml#top  

According to scripture, recognizing the 12th of March as the 1st day of the biblical calendar year, the following would be true.

Lord's Supper (New Testament Passover): Friday, March 25th 2005 (to be celebrated the evening before, or evening of the 24th)
1st Day of Unleavened Bread: Saturday, March 26th 2005 (beginning March 25th at sunset)
7th Day of Unleavened Bread: Friday, April 1st 2005 (beginning March 31st at sunset)
