The calendar conversions are valid for Vancouver, British Columbia, but will vary by up to a day on the Gregorian calendar, depending in which part of the earth you live.

The Sabbath's are on days 8, 15, 22, and 29 of every Hebrew month. Days 1 and 30 of every Hebrew month are New Moon days, to be celebrated similarly to the sabbath.

Every month has 29 or 30 days. Every year has 12 or 13 months. Before the time of King Hezekiah, before the Exile of Ephraim and Judah, every month had 30 days, and every year had 12 months.

The day starts at dawn, when the sun is in conjunction with the horizon. The month starts when the sun is in conjunction with the moon. The year starts with the conjunction of sun, moon and constellation of Aries, the Lamb. Because of "precession of the equinoxes", conjunction of sun, moon, and the celestial equator is used instead. The first month "Aviv" saw the barley ripen and flax blossom in Egypt, 3500 years ago.

Every seventh year is a sabbath year. Every fiftieth year is a jubilee year, celebrated as a sabbath year. The jubilee is marked by the conjunction of the star Sirius with the small star that circles around it. The jubilee year restarts the count to the sabbath year, as the new moon restarts the count to the sabbath day.

This calendar is an educated guess, based on the times for lunar conjunction given by the US Naval Observatory. Sunrise times were given by the National Research Council of Canada. The real calendar of God is in the sky where man cannot tamper with it. This webpage may be updated and corrected as time progresses.
