The day of <a class="mw-redirect" title="Pesach" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pesach">Pesach</a> (Pascha or Passover, 15 <a title="Nisan" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nisan">Nisan</a>), is always at the first full moon following the northern vernal equinox. At the First <a class="mw-redirect" title="Ecumenical Council" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecumenical_Council">Ecumenical Council</a>, held in 325 CE at <a title="First Council of Nicaea" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Council_of_Nicaea">Nicaea</a>, it was decided to celebrate Easter on the Sunday following the so-called <a title="Paschal Full Moon" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paschal_Full_Moon">Paschal Full Moon</a>, as for the Christian church to differentiate itself from their Jewish counterparts.</p>
<p>At the Council of Nicaea, it became one of the duties of the <a title="Patriarch of Alexandria" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patriarch_of_Alexandria">patriarch of Alexandria</a> to determine the dates of the Easter and to announce it to the other Christian churches. This duty fell on this officiate because of the erudition at Alexandria he could draw on. The rules to determine this are complex, but Easter is the first Sunday after a full moon occurring after the northern <a class="mw-redirect" title="Vernal equinox" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vernal_equinox">vernal equinox</a>, which falls on or after 21 March, which was its nominal date at the time of the First Council of Nicaea. Shortly after <a title="Julius Caesar" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar">Julius Caesar</a> reformed the calendar, the northern vernal equinox was occurring on the nominal date of 25 March. This was abandoned shortly after Nicaea, but the reason for the observed discrepancy was all but ignored (the actual <a title="Tropical year" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_year">tropical year</a> is not quite equal to the Julian year of 365¼ days, so the date of the equinox keeps creeping back in the Julian calendar).</p> A most recent look into the M…tag:redpilltraining.ning.com,2014-05-08:3561936:Comment:726272014-05-08T15:58:16.079ZAdisahttps://redpilltraining.ning.com/profile/Adisa

<p>A most recent look into the Morocco-Treaty of Peace of September 1863 led me back to this thread. This treaty was signed at Meccanez other spellings include Meknes or Meqbinez. Meknes is a city in northern Morocco named after a "Berber" tribe known as Miknasa or Imeknasen. The Miknasa peoples originated in southern Ifrikiya and migrated westward towards now central Morocco and western Algeria. Apparently the modern city of Meknes and the Spanish town of Mequinenza bear witness of their presence. Ifriqiya or Ifriqiyah was the area of what is now Tunisia, Tripolitania (western Libya), Constantinois (eastern Algeria). This area included what had been the Roman province of Africa, whose name it inherited. </p>
