Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online.Christian Passover is a religious observance celebrated by a small number of Protestant churches instead of, or alongside, the more common Christian holy day and festival of Easter. The redemption from the bondage of sin through the sacrifice of Christ is celebrated, a parallel of the Jewish Passover''s celebration of redemption from bondage in the land of Egypt. Christian Passover seders are held on the evening corresponding to 14 Nisan or 15 Nisan, depending whether the particular church uses a quartodeciman or quintodeciman application. In 2009, for example, Jehovah''s Witnesses (quartodecimans) will celebrate their "Memorial" on the evening of 14 Nisan (counting 14 Nisan as sunset, 9 April through sunset, 10 April). The United Church of God will celebrate Passover (followed by the seven-day Festival of Unleavened Bread) on 14 Nisan (sunset, 7 April through sunset, 8 April). In these and most other cases, the holiday is observed according to the ancient Jewish calendar, not the modern Jewish calendar - on which 15 Nisan 5769 corresponds to sunset, 8 April through sunset, 9 April 2009.
