Corrected 2017 Calendar Dates

If you’ve received a hard copy of the 2017 FFWPU USA calendar, it contains errors in the lunar dates. Please download the corrected calendar below.

We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused and hope that the updated calendar, which now runs the full lunar year from February 2017 – February 2018, will be of service to you and your community in the coming year.

    Note that since the 2nd Phase of the 400 Million-Couple Blessing took place on
    January 27, 2001, their anniversary this year would not be on February 27th.

    I dont understand the change. In this corrected version above, its simply repeats the 5th month(lunar). Is that the change? Does the 5th month of the lunar calendar always repeat itself?

      Yes, the change is the duplicated 5th lunar month, but no, it’s not the 5th lunar month that always repeats itself. Every few years, the lunar calendar resets itself by repeating one month; it just happens to be the 5th lunar month that is repeated this year. The duplicated month serves the same purpose as leap year for the solar calendar, preserving regularity between the months and seasons year to year.
