6:03 You have just solved a problem between Catholics and Orthodox.

Catholics. The Last Supper was a Seder, so Jesus used unleavened bread. See Synoptics.
Orthodox. No. The Seder was the evening after the Crucifixion, see John.

Solution? Jesus wasn't in Jerusalem when the temple decided to start Nisan that year and can have spotted the New Moon one day earlier than the Temple did. Once in Jerusalem, the Temple cut down communications up to those hostile ones after the Last Supper. All four Gospels are right and the Last Supper was a Seder.*

7:44 It's not Earth that rotates once every 24 hours minus some minutes, but OK.

Nevertheless, like the calendar by Hillel II, these problems were never in place from ...

It is a sabbath of rest, and you shall afflict your souls beginning on the ninth day of the month: from evening until evening you shall celebrate your sabbaths
[Leviticus 23:32]

... to Jesus replacing the old priesthood and the old law on Last Supper and Calvary.

Judaism having to deal with them is a sign that the kashrut of the Old Covenant are over.

In Catholicism, rules for when Sundays and Feast days set in and end may seem inappropriate to you, they go from evening to next midnight, unless the following day is a greater feast, while ordinary days go from midnight to midnight unless following day is a feast, but the point is, the New Testament is not prescribing a single way in the Bible text.**
