This year also feels extraordinary for the Jewish and Assyrian communities of faith, as for the first time since 33 A.D., the Pesach Seder (Passover Dinner), which corresponds to the Last Supper in Catholic traditions, fell on the exact same day (Wednesday evening). 2026 marks the first such occurrence in the modern era under the calendars of both faiths, given there have been no instances of the full triple alignment (full moon + Pesach/15 Nisan beginning at sunset + Holy Thursday in the earlier Catholic sunset reckoning) on a Wednesday night since 33 A.D.

I’m not big on the calendar debates (they can get nasty for reasons I don’t understand), still, it would be good for people to meditate on this potential.
It is unarguable that the Roman calendar does not align with the Biblical/Hebrew/Lunar/God’s calendar, and that timing is incredibly important with God.
Are we, now, presently, in the beast system?

All this about dates are just a side note.
¿Que?
What I meant is the date of the crucifixion is not as important as the event!
It’s among the proof of it, but yes it’s definitely not the purpose of it.

God's calendar is purely solar it has nothing to do with the moon whatsoever.
False, you're thinking of the Julian and Gregorian calendars, which are purely solar. God's calendar is lunisolar and respects both, just as the Catholic/Orthodox calculations of Easter demonstrate by requiring the moon to assist in the date setting. (For comparison, a purely lunar calendar is exemplified by Islam, which loses pace with the sun about 11 days each solar year.)
