Why do Jewish holidays fall on different dates each year?

The Hebrew calendar is lunisolar: its months follow the moon (29 or 30 days), and a 13th month (Adar I) is added 7 times in 19 years so that Passover stays in spring. That is why the holidays move by up to a month on the Gregorian calendar but stay in the same season.
