I don't mean to stir the pot too much. The Hebrews used a combination of a solar and lunar calendar. If it was only a lunar cllendar,passover would move like Ramadan which can occur at various times in the year. Hebrew festivals occur within a 8 to 10 week time frame as do some of ours like Easter and Pentacost.

The slaughter of the lambs and the Passover meal are actually the same day bay our undrstanding of day. One at twilight of the 14th the beginning of the other after sundown (a new day) for the other.

Whatever the actual dates the main thing is we observe (and where appropriate) celebrate) the Holy events. But by all means carry on debating the whys and wherefores.

Consecutively or concurrently?
