Coincidences of Jewish Passover with Gregorian Easter Sunday

Since the promulgation of the Gregorian calendar in AD 1582, only eight coincidences of the first day of the Jewish Passover feast (15 Nisan) with Gregorian Easter Sunday have occurred.

Because of this rarity, especially before the 19th century, some early calendar scholars have claimed that the Gregorian Easter reckoning was devised in such a way to make such a coincidence impossible. However, there is no evidence for this and several coincidences have occurred since the begin of the 19th century, the last in 1981 after which the next one will not occur again until 2123.

From 1583 to 2000

From 2001 to 2500

From 2501 to 3000

From 3001 to 3500

From 3501 to 4000

From 4001 to 4500

From 4501 to 5000

From 5001 to 5500

From 5501 to 6000

From 6001 to 6500

From 6501 to 7000

From 7001 to 7500

After AD 7485 (AM 11245) the Jewish calendar will have fallen back so far with respect to the seasons that further coincidences between the first day of Passover and Gregorian Easter Sunday will not be possible for a very long time.
