This calendar is rooted in what the ancient Israelites and Yeshua actually observed — the seven appointed times (Mo'edim) of Leviticus 23, the weekly Shabbat, and the new moon (Rosh Chodesh). Days begin and end at sunset, not midnight, as in Scripture: "there was evening and there was morning" (Genesis 1:5). Enable location for accurate local sunset times.
Firstfruits and Shavuot follow the Sadducee/Karaite reading of Leviticus 23:11 — Firstfruits falls on the first Sunday on or after 15 Nisan (the "day after the Sabbath" = the weekly Sabbath), and Shavuot is 50 days later, always on a Sunday. This is the method that places the giving of the Spirit at Acts 2 on a Sunday, consistent with the apostolic witness.
Purim (Esther 9:21) and Hanukkah (John 10:22 — Yeshua at the Feast of Dedication) are included as pre-Nicene observances with direct scriptural grounding. Post-Temple rabbinic additions and modern Israeli civil holidays are not included.
New moon dates are calculated astronomically from the mean synodic month (29.53058867 days). Ancient Israel used both calculation and the sighted crescent — the new month was declared when witnesses in Jerusalem confirmed seeing the first crescent after conjunction.
