Exodus 12.1 to 12.2 "The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt. This month shall mark for you the beginning of the months it shall be the first of the months of the year for you." Exodus 12.14 to 12.15 "This day shall be to you one of remembrance: you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD throughout the ages; you shall celebrate it as an institution for all times. Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread..." Exodus 12.17 to 12.18 "You shall observe the [Feast of] Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your ranks out of the land of Egypt; you shall observe this day throughout the ages as an institution for all time. In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at the evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at the evening." The first month in the Jewish calendar is Nissan. Which translates to around March-April in the Gregorian calendar. Exodus 12.18 is the passage that describes the dates for celebrating Passover, I included the other passages to give a little context.

There is no "why", because there's no basis for the statement that the cross is considered evil in the Old Testament.
There is no 'color' for Passover.There are no colors associated with Jewish holidays. Occasionally, you will see blue and white used with Chanukah, but this has little basis in anything. Those are the colors on the Israeli flag. Blue-purple is the color traditionally sewn into a few fringes on a tallis.
It means that whatever subject is being discussed, it has (or doesn't as the case may be) support from scripture, rather than merely from the ideas and traditions of men. Many things sound like a good idea to people, but they may be in error from a Christian and scriptural perspective.
Seems like a good idea. Christmas supports families and brings families together. Strong families are important to communities.
Jesus and his teachings are primarily found in the 4 Gospels in the New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke & John and in Revelation. Jesus and his teachings are used as a basis for the writings of the remainder of the New Testament.
