WHAT DOES QUARTODECIMAN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Quartodecimanism

Quartodecimanism refers to the custom of some early Christians celebrating Passover beginning with the eve of the 14th day of Nisan, which at dusk is biblically the "Lord's passover". The modern Jewish Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread is seven days, starting with the sunset at the beginning of Nisan 15. Judaism reckons the beginning of each day at sunset, not at midnight as is common in Western reckoning. The biblical law regarding Passover is said to be a "perpetual ordinance", to some degree also applicable to proselytes, but what it means to observe biblical law in Christianity is disputed. According to some interpretations, the Gospel of John implies that Nisan 14 was the day that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem. The synoptic gospels place the execution on the first day of Unleavened Bread. In Ancient Israel the first day of Unleavened Bread, a special Holy Sabbath, was on Nisan 15 and began a seven-day feast to the Lord. By the time of Christ, many customs in regard to the festival had changed, notable among them the intermixing of the two festivals in some customs and terminology.
