Pessach Sheni
Unfortunately, I just realized that Pessach Sheni's appearance in the calendar is very misleading. It appears on Nissan 14th as a full-day event, whereas in truth it should appear exactly one month after Passover in every respect. The 14th day (for both Pessach and Pessach Sheni) is Erev Chag and the time when the Passover sacrifice would be made starting after mid-day. The holiday itself (Yom Tov) would be the 15th, starting as always before sundown and ending after sundown on the next day.
Today is the 14th, yet my calendar said in big bold letters that today is Pessach Sheni, so I arrived a day early to an important occasion. I really should have been more alert and looked at the actual date, but still, it's extremely confusing.
I suggest either marking the 14th as Erev Pessach Sheni and the 15th as Pessach Sheni, or making one event of Pessach Sheni that begins in the afternoon on the 14th and ends after sundown on the 15th.
Answer
Pesach Sheni occurs every year on 14 Iyar (not 15 Iyar). This is exactly one month after 14 Nisan, the day before Passover, which was the day prescribed for bringing the Korban Pesach ("Paschal offering", i.e. Passover lamb) in anticipation of that holiday.
in other words, our dates for Pesach Sheni are correct. We are sorry if there is any confusion. We do not list Erev Pesach Sheni on the website
