Artificial equinoxes and sunrises
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/qumran_origin/message/5411

"You need to take into account the fact that the solar calendrists
used
artificial equinoxes and sunrises which were close to the real thing,
but not
exactly at it. For them, symmetry was the superior consideration."

---

"In the gospel period, for example, the 31st near the March
equinox fell on Friday March 25 in AD 29, Friday March 24 in AD 30,
Friday March
23 in AD 31, Friday March 21 in AD 32 (a leap year), Friday March 20
in AD 33.
As the true equinox is March 20-21, it was an additional sign of
heaven's
arrangement that the crucifixion took place at the true equinox."

Come up with something on your own for once. Can you do it? Will you
even try?
