(The date on the Jewish calendar is the 14th of Nisan, which corresponds to March 25th.) In the early centuries, Christians in some places even celebrated Pascha on this date&#8211;before the formula for determining the date of Pascha was set by the 1st Ecumenical Council. Then, March 25th is exactly nine months before the Nativity of Christ. Thus, it is no accident that the Church chose this date of March 25th to commemorate the Annunciation&#8230;&#8221;<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"fv180\" data-offset-key=\"2ss3i-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"2ss3i-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"2ss3i-0-0\">(Abbess Victoria, March St. Barbara Monastery newsletter)<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"2ss3i-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-4614\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/annunciationicon-230x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/annunciationicon-230x300.jpg 230w, https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/annunciationicon.jpg 601w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 230px) 100vw, 230px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Jews regarded March 25th as the date of the creation of the world&#8211; an idea which the early Christians accepted&#8230;Moreover, this was exactly the date of the Crucifixion of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4613","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-orthodox-quotes","has_thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4613","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=4613"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4613\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4615,"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4613\/revisions\/4615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=4613"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=4613"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=4613"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
