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.)
