Imagine trying to get the US government to agree upon the 13-month calendar. We can't even get it to stop switching us back and forth from daylight savings time and standard time! But I'm all for we the people to start on our own recognizing the 13-month calendar! Let's do it!

Great and interesting article. As Alan did below, I also was intending to comment about the Biblical calendar, aka the Jewish or Hebrew calendar. As you mention in the article, it is determined by the moon, by the new visible crescent moon specifically.

Ancient Israel had watchmen positioned to look for the first visible crescent moon. Once seen by two or more witnesses it was declared as the first day of the new month, beginning at sundown. This was very important, because counting from the new moon day was necessary to determine the commanded Feast days and what day of the month one was commanded to keep them.

In some years, about every fourth, a thirteenth month was necessarily added. This year, 2025, was one of those. The first new moon signaling the first day of the new year must also coincide with the sighting of the new green ears of barley in Israel. This year the new moon of March 1, seen the evening prior, was not accompanied by the green ears of barley.

This made the additional month necessary. So the next new moon of March 31, seen the evening prior, WAS the first day of the first month of the new year, in the Spring as it should be.

That news story and photo of the men who wanted a "fixed" calendar was something I hadn't heard before. The fine print said "church festivals would be fixed to perpetual dates". Yikes

This sounds like what the beast system will impose on the nations in the latter days, when men will presume to "change days and seasons" from that given by the Creator.

The Biblical calendar does require observance of the Sabbath, the Shabbat, on the seventh day, which is still Saturday on the Gregorian calendar. The false "christian" church in 325 AD decided to change the commanded day of rest and worship to Sunday, the first day of the week, rejecting Yahweh.

This year Passover will be observed on April 13. Then at sunset the next day begins, the first day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, a High Sabbath. The seventh day of Unleavened Bread, April 20, is also a High Sabbath.

The Jewish dates do not always coincide with the dates observed by those who keep the Biblical calendar, but often do. But the observance of "good Friday" and "easter Sunday" are found no where in the Bible, and the Messiah did not change the dates or observances. He died on Passover as our sacrificial lamb.
