In many languages other than English and German, Easter is known either as Passover or a derivative of the word. There is also a Christian festival named Passover, observed by small numbers of Protestants as they believe celebrating the event gives their worship greater authenticity (due to the fact that Christ, as a Jew, would have celebrated Passover) such as the United Church of God.

Thus, Jewish Passover is a term used to distinguish the Jewish festival from those of other religious groups that observe the event - among Jews, this is not an issue since we usually refer to it as Pesach.
