Dear John & Doves:

I was under the impression that First Fruits this year was April 26/27.  Even the Orthodox had their Easter on April 27.  So forty days after First Fruits is Thursday, June 5^th. Pentecost would therefore be on Sunday, June 15^th, father’s day.

 

This reckoning is according to First Fruits being the morrow after the Sabbath after Passover.  Nisan 14 was on a Saturday.

 

This June 5^th date is still 2 days prior to the 41^st anniversary of Israel capturing Jerusalem on June 7^th, 1967.
