Why Passover falls when it does in 2027
Passover is fixed in the Hebrew calendar, which is lunisolar: twelve lunar months fall about eleven days short of a solar year, so a leap month is added seven times in every nineteen. That is why the Gregorian date swings rather than drifts — 20 days later than 2026, and why it always lands in roughly the same season.
