March 20, 2006, is a date that most of us recognize as symbolic of changing seasons. As we welcome spring, people south of the equator are actually gearing up for the cooler temperatures of autumn. What Happens at the Equinox?

 

Far from being an arbitrary indicator of the changing seasons, March 20 (March 21 in some years) is significant for astronomical reasons. On March 20, 2006, at precisely 1:26 P.M. EST (18:26 Universal Time), the Sun will cross directly over the Earth's equator. This moment is known as the vernal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere. For the Southern Hemisphere, this is the moment of the autumnal equinox.

 

Equinox Means "Equal Night"   Translated literally, equinox means "equal night." Because the sun is positioned above the equator, day and night are about equal in length all over the world during the equinoxes. A second equinox occurs each year on September 22 or 23;  This date will mark the autumnal equinox in the Northern Hemisphere and the vernal equinox in the Southern (vernal denotes "spring").

1st New Moon After the Spring Equinox is Mar 29th, 2006 at 3:17 a.m. MST before daylight.

Biblical Holy Day Calendar for 2006  (Bases on the Moon)  
The New Moon 2006 (1st day of Year) is on Mar 29th, 2006 at 3:17 a.m.
   This makes the first day of the First Month on Saturday, Mar 29th, 2006 at 3:17 a.m.
   Since the day is just started this day probably reflects the day of the rebirth of the Moon. If we were to move it to the 30 day of March the moon would be past the new state and be a crescent with 3% of the Moon's visible disk illuminated.

Passover April 11, 2006 (Starts evening before)
Counting to Abib 14.  Abib 14 starts on April 10, 2005 when the sun goes down. (7:28 p.m. in the afternoon is sunset)
    Just before April 11th  which is the 14th of Abib.
The commanded Passover Meal is after sundown on the beginning of Abib 14.  (Of April 10, 2006) 
The commanded service of taking the bread, wine and foot washing comes after the main (regular) meal.  This is
   Christ's Passover meal also.  We will also observe that Special Night to be Much Observed (Exo. 12.42), not
   Abib 15 as the traditional doctrine believes.  (see Passover is the Feast)

The First Day of Unleavened Bread starts late afternoon on April 10th, 2006  at the going down of the sun.  
(7:35 p.m.)  14 days later is the 14th day of the 1st month of the New Year.  That would be on April 11, 2006 Making that the Passover day and 1st Day of UB.  April 10th, the evening before would be Christ's Passover Ceremony.  April 17th would be the last day of UB or the 20th day of the 1st month.
       The First Holy Day will  continue all through the 11th day. (Which is the 14th day of Abib).  The Unleavened Bread will last for only 7 days which is called the Feast of the Passover.   (See this explanation)
 

         April 16th, 2006  Waive Sheaf Day (Sunday)    (Lev 23:9-14)   
          Go to the weekly Sabbath during the week of UB.  
          Then morning after the Sabbath.  It is Waive Sheaf  Sunday. 
        ("...on the day after the sabbath the priest shall wave it.)

                Is that in the Bible?  Is it a Holy Day?   Is it to be kept forever?
             

         The Seventh day of the Feast of the Passover (Unleavened Bread) is on April 17th, 2006
            This last (7th) day coincides with Abib 20. and ends the 7-- 24 hr periods at about 7:00 in the
            evening of April 17th. (Or as is stated "until" (the start) of the 21st day of Abib...)

June 5, 2006  Feast of Weeks  (Monday)    Article 1,  Article 2,  An old Pastor Understood this.
Article 3   

          Sept 23, 2006  Feast of Trumpets   
            The exact New Moon is on 22 September 2006 at 5:46 a.m. Mountain Daylight Time.  
            The New Moon (at 5:46 a.m)  or the 1st Day of the 7th Month.) 
            (1st Day of 7th Month)  Not starting it on Sept 22 in the night before, or the evening of the 21st, but starting it on the   evening of the 22nd,  allows the Feast of Tabernacles to Start on the Full Moon (the15th day of the 7th month)

          October 2, 2006  Day of Atonement

          October 7-13, 2006  Full Moon on 6 October 2006 at 9:12 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time.        
            (7th day Feast of Tabernacles)  (The Full moon is on Oct 6th, at 9:12 p.m. MST)

          October 14, 2006 ( Last Great Day )

Forbidden Days - Postpone God’s Holy Days ??            Problems with the Hebrew Calendar
Jewish Reasoning or "Forbidden Days"       The UCG does not understand the Jewish Calendar
Admissions on the Calculated Rabbinical Calendar               Inconveniences are not Postponements

The Holy Day arrangement for the year is determined by rules (traditions of men) that aim to prevent Yom Kippur (Atonement) from occurring either before or after the Sabbath. Thus making the "Day of Preparation" (Fri.) or the Preparation for the weekly Sabbath, more important than the High Day.
