What I always had trouble with is celebrating Easter in spring when Passover's in fall.
"Passover is a spring festival which during the existence of the Temple in Jerusalem was connected to the offering of the "first-fruits of the barley", barley being the first grain to ripen and to be harvested in the Land of Israel. Passover commences on the 15th of the Hebrew month of Nisan"
That sputtering noise you heard was my brain farting, yes was confusing it with the High Holidays Yom Kippur and Rosh Hashanah.What makes you say that? Passover has always been celebrated in the spring... it is because Jesus Christ's famous "Last Supper" was a Passover Seder he held with his disciples.
'Cause eggs hatch cute little chicks?The egg was not originally a part of the Seder, but was added sometime after the fall of Jerusalem. My thinking is that is where the concept of "Easter Eggs" comes from. No idea on the yellow squishy peep candy, tho...
THAT one's NOT a "pagan custom", see the links I posted in post #13.By the way, Pitt, I meant to inquire about your holding of a Seder. Are you Unitarian?
And, as for the Easter egg thing... Christianity has adopted many pagan customs over the years.
Rabbit eggs.I have no idea where the bunny comes from
