Hello Joseph,

I gave up trying to track down anything specific on the "high day" for now. And as you know, there is so much bad information out there.

But below is a great link for some general reading, I know you know what to cut out. But some critical discussion about the "between the two evenings" and the traditions of the Samaritans, etc. Definitely a lot of information and something you should see.

I don't think I'll get past the language showing that "great" at John 19:31 means anything but a bigger or longer "rest" and so I'm not going to worry about an optional use.

Here is some sample quotes from this incredible page on the details of sabbath:

> §500.999 In the former edition I had stated that the Samaritans observed the Passover at the
> beginning of the 14th of Aviv. This now appears to be an error, which originated with modern groups
> seeking to support such a Passover from Jewish sources. I should not have assumed that they treated the
> historical sources fairly regarding the Samaritans. In fact, they have not. Two other ideas also need to be
> revised. First, calling the 14th "the first day of unleavened bread" has much less support than I thought,
> in spite of the fact that the Hebrew word "first" may mean "preceeding. Second, the actual usage of a
> sunrise day in the Passover legislation is an open question, even though it may help explain a few texts.
> §501 The Biblical Passover lamb is sacrificed in the afternoon of the 14th of Aviv [Nisan] (Various
> Passover Views, blue dot), and then it is eaten after sunset on the beginning of the 15th of Aviv. The
> afternoon is indicated in Hebrew by the phrase "between the evenings" which we will show herein. The
> observance at this time is sometimes called the "Jewish Passover" in order to distinguish it from the
> Samaritan Passover (John 2:13). The Samaritan Passover lamb was sacrificed between sunset and dark
> at the end of the 14th of Aviv (Various Passover Views, white dot), but was eaten at the same time as the
> Jews. The green dot represents the views of certain 20th century groups, namely the World Wide Church
> of God and many of its offshoots. I have given this view a name "Neo-samaritan," which should not be
> confused with the ancient samaritans or the small group of survivors from them in Israel. Our purpose
> here is to demonstrate the correctness of the biblical Messianic position (the blue dot).

- Link to Passover reference website--Some great stuff!
