Why does Easter not always follow the week of Passover?
Because the Jewish calendar and our calendar differ, Passover is always on a different date each year. Add to that the fact that the early Christians began to celebrate the resurrection on what was a formerly pagan holiday (Easter). The reason they did this is that they wanted to take over the false worship for the worship of Jesus. The problem for us is that is makes our calendar today totally confusing! If they were doing it again I would love to see them always have resurrection day at the end of the Jewish Passover week. But…I’m honestly glad to celebrate the resurrection of Jesus anytime! “The LORD’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month.” Lev.
