The Feast of Passover is not kept before the Spring Equinox. When the Full Moon of March falls before the Spring Equinox (a day when the daylight is equaled to the night), the celebration of Pesach moves forward to the next month which makes a 13-month year. There is no direct command in the Torah to add an additional month to the outgoing year. However because in each year the cycle of the Moon falls behind the cycle of the Sun by 10 days; it is necessary every three years to adjust by approximately 30 days the Calendar to keep it in line with the Sun which regulates the four seasons.

Pesach - (Feast of Passover) is kept after the Spring Equinox. When the Full Moon of March falls before the Spring Equinox (moment when the Sun is positioned directly over the Earth's equator), the celebration of Pesach moves forward to the next month which makes a 13-month year. There is no direct command in the Torah to add an additional month to the outgoing year. However because in each year the cycle of the Moon falls behind the cycle of the Sun by 10 days; it is necessary about every three years to adjust by approximately 28 - 30 days the Calendar to keep it in line with the Sun which regulates the four seasons.
Sukkoth (Feast of Tabernacles) (Feast of Ingathering) is one of the most joyous of Hebrew feasts happens always at the full moon.

Types of Lunar Eclipses
An eclipse of the Moon (or lunar eclipse) can only occur at Full Moon, and only if the Moon passes through some portion of Earth's shadow. That shadow is actually composed of two cone-shaped components, one nested inside the other. The outer or penumbral shadow is a zone where the Earth blocks part but not all of the Sun's rays from reaching the Moon. In contrast, the inner or umbral shadow is a region where the Earth blocks all direct sunlight from reaching the Moon.
Astronomers recognize three basic types of lunar eclipses:
1. Penumbral Lunar Eclipse
- The Moon passes through Earth's penumbral shadow.
- These events are of only academic interest because they are subtle and hard to observe.
2. Partial Lunar Eclipse
- A portion of the Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.
- These events are easy to see, even with the unaided eye.
3. Total Lunar Eclipse
- The entire Moon passes through Earth's umbral shadow.
- These events are quite striking due to the Moon's vibrant red color during the total phase (totality).
