How the date is set

The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar: twelve lunar months fall about eleven days short of a solar year, so a thirteenth is added seven times in every nineteen. The Gregorian date therefore swings by a fortnight or more between years rather than drifting steadily, and the holiday stays in its season.

Where each Purim holiday falls in the Gregorian year, 2026 to 2043. A flat line means a fixed Gregorian date; a sloping one means the calendar drifts. The dashed line marks 2026. Lines that run off the bottom reappear at the top the following year.
