Easter and Passover have a definite historical connecetion but they almost never occur on the same date. This year they're almost a full moon cycle apart. Other years they can be a quarter or half moon apart, or almost co-incide. What does "hardwired" mean?Feral Techhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15674463992202551757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861480576960760833.post-17514468490851474752016-01-23T22:29:29.371+00:002016-01-23T22:29:29.371+00:00Having, I think, nailed it, but mystified as to wh...Having, I think, nailed it, but mystified as to why this site chose to christen me only "Athena", when I'm EnglishAthena everywhere else.... Anyway. I'd be very sorry to lose the connection to Passover, personally. It is a bit of a pain for schools, universities and so on, but it's all perfectly predictable, so it can't be that hard.Athenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497065436976563532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861480576960760833.post-39960102514037522862016-01-23T22:26:03.975+00:002016-01-23T22:26:03.975+00:00David, are you alone in your ministry?

As a clergyman still in harness but getting older each and every successive year, early Easters such as we are having this year are hellish! One hardly has time to draw breath after Christmas before Ash Wednesday and Lent are upon us with all that entails. The poor season of Epiphany does not know whether it is coming or going.

This goes very deep and the ABC's casual tone does it a disservice as an issue.
