and this is why I don´t use the explanation related to the full moon

 

I know, but the OP asked for an explanation in the simplest terms.

 

The first full moon after the beginning of spring is simple and quite accurate.

I always thought it was a simple task since the Jews still use this calendar today it would be as simple as looking it up.

And just for fun, today is Nisan 14, 5775.

5775 counting from what starting point.?

On a different subject there have been over 3,500 passovers. Over half of those have been after the law covenant was fulfilled.

Traditionally, the modern Jewish calendar is said to start from "the creation of the world", based on young-earth-creationism theories and a calculation of figures found in the Greek Septuagint (which differs significantly from the Hebrew Masoretic text).

I have attended the Memorial with the same Date for the last 37 years - she is my wife

You're having a very nice sense of humor lately

I thought that might be what you were referring to with the 5775.
