- I heard both The Jewish Passover & The Christian Crucifixion/Resurrection Days observances

are on this same weekend this year. 

- How come their not both at the same time every year?  Thanks.

- I've been reading that the Constantine of the Catholics did not want to depend on the observance of the Jews calendar is why the dates are different.

The Jewish calendar is based on a LUNAR cycle which is technically 354 days in a year -- but the modern Jewish calendar is based on the 360-day prophetic cycle.  The Jewish calendar every few years to add an extra month - 2nd Adar to realign itself with the solar cycle.  The Gregorian calendar is based on the 365 day SOLAR cycle.  So that's why you have divergences.

- Thanks, I understand calendars are different.

- I guess I was wondering why don't Christians go by the timing of Jesus death to the Jewish calendar instead.
