Thank you, roscoe, for letting us know. You know, I remember thinking about the moon and about the Lord. I may have mentioned this on Cathinfo awhile back, but I remember noticing how the moon has its new and full phases as analogous to the divine and human natures of Christ. Plus, the moon resembles a white Host. Also, I remember learning from someone how you can sort of try to make out in the moon the figure of Jesus giving Holy Communion to a child. It seems the Lord God gave indeed a great symbol from the beginnings of creation of Who was to come to redeem mankind.

Unless I am mistaken, Judaics and Moslems both calculate their calendars by the cycles of the Moon while Christians( and even the pre-christian Julian calendar) use the cycles of the Sun.

I have not heard the analogy of the moon and Jesus before: is there anyone in the history of the Church that you got that from?

KP--do you believe the Moon revolves around the Earth?

And if it does, will it have an effect on our daily lives?

Maybe not on your daily life but it may relate to your salvation.
