Hi Everyone,
It is the practice of my household to visually sight the New Moon of Abib as commanded:
My wife and I follow this physical practice because we know that the New Moon is a shadow of things to come (Colossians 2:16-17), and we have learned many things about the future through our physical practice.
This year my wife and myself are way out on a limb by ourselves because of our circumstance and practice. We did not sight the New Moon in Ellisville, MO, last Thursday, the 14th of March. I myself looked also for the moon on the 13th just in case. It has been cloudy in Missouri since Friday the 15th. I mean really cloudy. Yesterday, the weather broke and both my wife and myself saw the moon long before sunset. The moon is now about a quarter moon.
There are other new moon watchers in the St. Louis area. Some of them are adding an additional month this year because they believe that the New Moon of Abib must always fall in the spring. It is interesting to me that in St. Louis the New Moon was not seen until yesterday, the first day of Spring.
I believe that the Tzaddikim are the only ones in the world who insist that the new moon must be visually sighted locally no matter how many cloudy days it takes in order to see it. If there are any others who follow this same practice, I would like to get to know them in order to compare notes on what they have learned about the spiritual new moon. This year my wife and myself will celebrate Passover (Messiah's Supper) on Tuesday evening, the 2nd of April. We will observe the First Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread on Thursday the 4th of April, and we will celebrate the Seventh Day of the Feast on Wednesday, the 10th of April. If perchance there are any souls out there seeking to observe as we observe, we would be overjoyed to receive and meet with them.
Sincerely, Spying
P.S. Here are some interesting links that give information about abib and moon sighting that a brother passed on to me:
