CURRENT MOON lunar phase

"...at the beginning of your renewed moons*, you shall blow the trumpets" - Numbers 10:10
*Orig. month; "New moon" & "month" are cognates of Hebrew word Chodesh or Hadesekem (Strong's 2320) derived from Chadash (Strong's 2318) meaning "renew"

New Moon Crescent: The first location that reported the third new moon of the Aviv barley was from Guyana at 6:25 local time (EDT) Thursday evening, May 29th followed by reports from Barbados and various points westward. This will mark the start of the new month for the majority of the Americas. Israel-based observation was first seen from Devorah Levine in Jerusalem and Bruce Brill in Kefar Eldad on May 30, 2014. Confirmed: Guyana!

Israel-based observers will have a slim chance of seeing the crescent with the naked eye, but is possible they will delay their new moon celebration until the following evening without local verification.

Expected Observation Dates of Biblical Festivals 2014: All dates may vary based upon actual visual confirmation/trumpet call of the new crescent moon & availability of Aviv barley within the region of the Promised Land

For 2014, the Aviv barley searches in the Fertile Crescent found no positive conclusions until prior to the new moon of March 31st, first reported from Israel. Therefore, the Annual Festival Dates will be as follows (all days begin at sundown the evening before date posted):

• First Day of Biblical Year^# (Day 1 of Month 1): April 1, 2014
• Passover/Pesach Seder^ (Day 14 of Month 1): April 14, 2014 Eucharist is observed on the evening of April 13
• First Day of Unleavened Bread/Chag HaMatzot*^ (Day 15 of Month 1): April 15, 2014
• Wave Sheaf/Omer Day# (1st day of the week during Unleavened Bread in Promised Land): April 20, 2014
• Last Day of Unleavened Bread/Chag HaMatzot*^ (Day 21 of Month 1): April 21, 2014
• Feast of Weeks/Counting of Omer (7 Weeks starting with Wave Sheaf Day): April 20 - June 7, 2014
• Pentecost/Shavuot* (50th Day starting with Wave Sheaf Day): June 8, 2014

It then follows that the Seventh New Moon of 2014 will first be seen on Thursday evening, September 25th with first sightings around Australia. This new moon will mark the arrival of the Fall Festivals on the following dates for all locations worldwide. There is a possibility, however, that those following the restrictive Israel-based observation calendar method will be delayed by one additional day depending on sighting conditions. Dates listed below are based on a Global Trumpet Call (all days begin at sundown the evening before date posted):

• Day of Trumpets/Yom Teruah*^ (Day 1 of Month 7): September 26, 2014
• Day of Atonement/Yom Kippur*^ (Day 10 of Month 7): October 5, 2014
• First Day of Feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot*^ (Day 15 of Month 7): October 10, 2014
• Last Day of Feast of Tabernacles/Sukkot^ (Day 21 of Month 7): October 16, 2014
• Last Great Day/Shemini Atzeret*^ (Day 22 of Month 7): October 17, 2014

^ - Dates based on a global trumpet call (Israel-based observers will likely keep the following date)
* High Day of Convocation (no regular work)

If you would like to provide future reports, I welcome anyone to serve as witnesses to the sighting of the new moon crescent by submitting your sighting via e-mail. Together, as Yah's people, we can all be of one accord with the blowing of a trumpet to communicate to all of His people when the new moon has occurred (Numbers 10:10). We also attempt to post our own sightings and in a timely manner.
