Why does JW celebrate March 27th as Jesus Christ’s death this year?

The date for the Memorial 2021 from Jehovah’s Witnesses corresponds to Nisan 14 2021. Nisan 14 (biblical calendar) begins 2021 on Saturday, March 27, 2021 after sundown.

Christ died on Nisan 14th.  Which corresponds to the Jewish Passover.

Jesus is called the Passover Lamb, who takes sins away.

Jesus on Nisan 14th commanded us to continue doing this when he instituted the Lord's Evening Meal.

Jehovah's Witnesses calculate this date using the Biblical method and not the 'secular' calendar used by the Jews today.

According to the Biblical Jewish calendar, Nisan 14th falls on Saturday, March 27th after sundown.

.

Because they aren't Christian.

Why not. It is as good of a guess as any guests could be.

JWs don't celebrate Easter.

They have their own

oddball

method of calculating Hebrew calendar dates

which on occasion corresponds to the actual Hebrew calendar dates.

They celebrate the "Memorial" on the date that THEY calculate as Nisan 14.

(Nisan 14 in the Hebrew calendar is the first day of Passover, beginning at sundown, which according to the Bible was the day of the Last Supper).

This year

their oddball method

has coincided with the actual Hebrew calendar.

SO: it's because March 27, 2021 is

by their calculation

Nisan 14 in the Hebrew calendar

and Nisan 14 in the Hebrew calendar

is the first day of Passover

and the first day of Passover

was when the Last Supper was held in the Bible.
