OURTEEN days of the "Calendar" new The date of the "Calendar" new moon is always on one of the days from the 8th of March to the 5th of April, both inclufive. It follows, therefore, that the first day on which the Pafchal Term, or full moon, can happen, must be the 21ft of March, that being fourteen days of the 8th of March; and the last day, the 18th of April, that being fourteen days of the 5th of April. Pafchal Cycle. This cycle is compofed of 532 years, on the completion of which, the Eafter-days recur in the fame order as before, if the cycle of Golden Numbers be not changed. The Solar cycle 28, and the Lunar cycle 19, multiplied together make the cycle of 532 years. The Pafchal New Moon is indicated by the Golden Number or Prime for the year, fourteen days of which is the date of the full moon or "Pafchal Term." Explanation.-To find the date of the Pafchal New Moon, look for the Golden Number or Prime of the year, in the column of the Tables under the required period, Old or New Style, and the date on the fame line will be that of the Calendar New Moon, fourteen days of which date, i. e. 13 days after, will be the date of the Pafchal Term or full moon. By thefe Tables the date of Eafterday may alfo be found. It will be that which ftands on a line with the Sun day Letter next after the date of the full Note.-If the Sunday Letter for the year in queftion Thould happen to be on a line with the date of the full moon, Eafter-day will be feven days later, i.e. the Sunday after the full moon, e.g. 1109 A.D., Year Letter C, Golden Number VIII; the date of Eafter-day is on the 21ft day of the moon (25 April). |
