This Year
Passover begins Sunset Monday
April 22, 2024.
The week of Passover this year mirrors the week of the Crucifixion and resurrection.
Interesting that Easter is being celebrated on
Sunday March 31, rather than Sunday April 27....
This year 2024 the following events on Passover.
Sunday, “Palm Sunday”
April 21, a comet at its brightest.
April 22, Passover begins :Lyrid Meteor Shower.
Tuesday, Last Supper, Passover Seder: April 23: Full Moon
I can offer no explanations.
I suspect,
There's a message in this.
I don't believe in coincidence.
In 31 AD , Passover fell, as it does this year.
There was also a Lunar eclipse on Passover that year.

Astronomy notes from:
https://starwalk.space/en/news/astronomy-calendar-2024#april-21-comet-12pponsbrooks-reaches-its-brightest
April 20: a large morning alignment of Venus, Mercury, Neptune, Mars, and Saturn.
April 21: comet 12P/Pons–Brooks reaches its brightest
On April 21, 2024, comet 12P/Pons-Brooks will reach its perihelion, the closest point to the Sun. By that time, it is expected to become visible to the naked eye (its magnitude will rise to 4.2). Soon after the perihelion, the comet will disappear from the Northern Hemisphere’s night sky. In the Southern Hemisphere, it will remain visible until the end of the year.
April 21: Jupiter near Uranus
Close approach time: 02:27 GMT (April 20, 10:27 p.m. EDT)
Close approach distance: 0°30'
On April 21, Jupiter (mag -2.0) will meet Uranus (mag 5.8) in the constellation Aries. You can observe them with a pair of binoculars.
April 22: Lyrid meteor shower peak
The Lyrid meteor shower will run from April 14 to 30 and peak around April 22. It is one of the most popular and long-awaited meteor showers of the year, known to produce bright fireballs. However, this year, the Lyrids reach their maximum three days before the Full Moon, so the moonlight will likely outshine most meteors.
April 23: Full Moon
The Full Pink Moon will occur on April 23, at 23:49 GMT (7:49 p.m. EDT). Our natural satellite will be in the constellation Virgo. Technically, the Full Moon lasts only for a moment when the Moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the Sun, but the lunar disk will appear full for one day before and after it.
April 29: Mars near Neptune
Close approach time: 04:31 GMT (12:31 a.m. EDT)
Close approach distance: 0°02'
On April 29, Mars (mag 1.1) will meet Neptune (mag 7.9) in the constellation Pisces. You can observe them with a telescope or a pair of binoculars
