Hmm. I'm still confused. Does this meant that Donatists celebrate the
resurrection on the first Sunday after the 14th of Nisan? Or they celebrate
exactly the 14th? Then it falls on Saturday this year. And would not it mean
then a "Pasca of passions" rather then a "Pasca of Resurrection" which would
fall on Nisan 16 - the 1st Omer (the day of waving the sheaf of the
firstfruits of your harvest - Lev.23:9-14)?
Btw, the Passover nowadays is celebrated on Nisan 15, not 14, having being
linked to the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
