The Mishnah explains that the Sanhedrin's decision was announced by means of a fire signal that was lit on Mount of Olives, close to Jerusalem. At other high points throughout Israel, bonfires would be used to spread the news. In later periods, messengers were dispatched. Thus Jews in Jerusalem, throughout Israel, and in scattered communities were made aware of the start of the new month. All could then observe seasonal festivals at the same time.
To understand the chart on how the Hebrew months, festivals, and seasons were all interconnected, go to jw.org, click library, then magazines and scroll down on the Watchtower Study addition June 2022 on this subject Did you know and click to the end of this subect and you will see the chart. I do not know how to get it on here.
