OK Blaine,
This is simple enough for even me to understand.
Thanks for the input.

Blaine: You are
missiing the facts that 1) the moon takes an average of 30 calendar
days to complete a cycle, from new moon, to full moon, back to new moon
again; 2) the Jewish month ALWAYS begins with the new moon; 3)
starting with the new moon phase as day 1, the moon will reach full phase about
half-way through its cycle of thirty days; and 4) the Passover
begins on 14 Nisan--14 days after the new moon, or about half way through
its cycle, which means the moon will have reached full phase (barely) at that
time; and 5) a moon phase typically last about 3 days, which means on the
Jewish calendar it would be at full phase on the 14, 15 and 16 Nisan.
OK? (It was probably still at full phase on the day of the Lord's
resurrection, 16 Nisan.)
