 Blessed Anne Catherine did not understand the Jewish calendar well enough to calculate any date in the 

Jewish calendar on her own. For example, see Emmerich, The Life of the Blessed Virgin Mary, p. 206. She tells us 

she cannot remember how the Jewish leap month worked, and that maybe it was 21 or 22 days long. Yet in 

spite of this lack of understanding, she is able to give the feasts and holy days in the Jewish calendar their 

correct place in the calendar. This correctness, in spite of limited understanding, shows that her chronological 

information came from her visions from God, not from her own mind.

 This data is provided primarily to assist in historical research projects .Algorithms used in predicting the 

phases of the Moon as well as eclipses are based on Jean Meeus  Astronomical Algorithms (Willmann Bell, 

Inc., Richmond, 1991). All calculations are by Fred Espenak, and he assumes full responsibility for their

 Easter is the first Sunday after the first Ecclesiastical Full Moon (EFM) after March 20. The EFM is an 

approximation of the date of the full moon developed by astronomers in 

A.D.

 325 in order to help determine 

future dates for Easter. March 20 was the date of the spring Equinox in 

A.D.

 325. See Ronald W. Mallen,
