and Traditional Calendar
INTRODUCTION
In another document, you can read the theo-logic behind the New Liturgical Calendar. We will just remind here the summarized purpose: To provide a true Christian Liturgical Calendar that honors the fundamental pre-Babylonian Jewish Holy Days, reinforcing the connection of those celebrations with the manifestation of Jesus in Time, who came to "fulfill the law and the prophets" [Matthew 5:17].
The post-Babylonian Jews changed the determination of the beginning of the Jewish New Year to depend on the phases of the Moon. Modern Christian tradition inherits the dependence on the Moon, albeit with variations in the criteria (2). Instead, we adhere to the Spring Equinox as the key stone from which key variable dates are derived, so it is a purely Sun-based calendar.
If read carefully —without prejudices derived from the current tradition— the Gospel testifies that Jesus celebrated the Passover on a date different from that of the Masters of the Temple and their followers.
It is theologically and historically sound that Jesus followed the same calendar as the Samaritans and the Essenes, who had preserved a tradition not adulterated by the Babylonian exile of the Jews. The historical record of the Essenes tells us that they celebrated the beginning of the year on the first Wednesday after the Spring Equinox. From that key information, the variable dates of the New Judeo-Christian Liturgical Calendar are derived (3).
The day of the Spring Equinox (4) can be easily determined by country people observing the Sun. In comparison, the exact observance of the phases of the Moon is complicated and controversial, and gives rise to complicated variations in the Calendar (2), so that "authorities" and "wise men" arise who stand between God and the simple people. With the solar Calendar there is no need for mediators. God loves simplicity.
Traditional Calendar and some other Religious Days of Note
There are dates that we consider the essentials for the New Judeo-Christian Liturgical Calendar. To find out which they are, without the distraction of other dates, you can access some past year in the original format. In the present document, the key dates of the "NEW Calendar" are listed along with the "Traditional Calendar" (which we no longer observe, but still keep track of) and other important religious dates.
In other words, the purpose of the NEW Calendar is not to focus on all secondary or minor celebrations, but we understand the convenience of having some of them, as well as the dates of the Traditional Calendar, in the same document.
(2) Precisely, the diversity of Jewish and Christian
calendars, when it comes to determine the Passover date, confirms the inadequacy of the dependence
on the Moon to bring all togheter to a common agreement. This confusion did not exist in the
pre-Babilonian Essene/Jewish calendar, based on the observation of the Equinox.
(3) Search for "Rosh Hashanah" in the Calendar below
(in March) for the details.
(4) It will be Autumn Equinox in the South Hemisphere but,
to keep it simple, we will speak here from the perspective of the North Hemisphere, where
Jerusalem resides.

men to the Christ Child, signifying the extension of salvation to the Gentiles. Epiphany falls on
January 6. The Epiphany is not a Holiday of Obligation in the United States, so they celebrate it
on the Sunday between January 2 and 8 instead of specifically on January 6th.
(2) January 22 has been designated by the U.S. Bishops as a "particular day of penance for
violations to the dignity of the human person committed through acts of abortion, and of prayer
for the full restoration of the legal guarantee of the right to life." When January 22 falls on a
Sunday, the observance is moved to the next Monday (January 23).
(3) A feast day that does not appear in the most current
Vatican Roman Missal.

In the NEW Calendar, this is not a relevant celebration. St. Peter had an important role as administrative head of the Church, but Jesus Christ is the True Rock upon which the Church was founded. As long as this Feast contributes to Catholics' next-to-idolatry veneration to some succesors of St. Peter, we —while practicing and defending the Cathollic Faith— do not celebrate it. Plus, at the time being, there is no legitimate succesor at the Chair in the Vatican/Rome.

The Beginning of the Essene Year = Rosh Hashanah
• Reference point and a Feast Day. The Essene Year starts at sundown of the first Tuesday after the Spring Equinox. (If the Spring Equinox happens to fall after the sundown of a calendar Tuesday, the Essene Year will start after the sundown of the Tuesday of the following week.)
• The first "day" (sundown to sundown) of the Essene Year always starts on Tuesday at sundown and ends on Wednesday at sundown.
• The Essene Year begins at sunset on the first Tuesday after the Spring Equinox, but most of this first "day" falls on Wednesday. In this sense, the Essene year "begins on Wednesday", according to the rule observed in the archaeological records of the Essene calendar.
• Because Wednesday is in the middle of the week (being Sunday the first day of the week), this means that the beginning of the Essene Year will never be separated more than half a week from the Spring Equinox. This is the main virtue of the Essene year.
• It is not that Jesus was an Essene. It is that both the Essenes and Jesus followed the same simple solar Calendar (at least for religious purposes), inherited from antiquity and which had not been corrupted by Babylonian influence in the Babylonian exile.
• It makes perfect sense that "Rosh Hashanah", meaning "New Year", be celebrated at the beginning of the Essene year, which is in March – regardless of the fact that it goes against the custom of the adulterated post-Babylonian Jewish calendar, which celebrates the new year in September.
