Passover is celebrated as a memorial of the Hebrews liberty from Egyptian slavery. It reminds every Hebrew of the day when the Angel of the Lord killed every first born of all the Egyptians starting from Pharaoh to the first born of the beast that lived in the land of Egypt. The Angel of God spared the first born of the Hebrews when He saw the sign of the blood on the lintel and on the two side posts of their homes; the Angel passed over their homes that had the sign of the blood and did not smite the Hebrews' first born. This was the very day when Jesus Christ was crucified as He is the symbol of the first born whom God was pleased to offer Him as a ransom for forgiveness of sin for all mankind not for the Jews alone. Easter is celebrated on Sunday that follows the Hebrews Passover which is the day in which Christ resurrected from the the dead.

What do religious people gain from taking part in ceremonies such as Passover or an Easter service?

Passover and Easter are very different practices and forms of worship. They do have some similarities though. First, it commemorates tradition within their church; it confirms their belief that those who started the church were the first to live the Good life (and I mean good in an absolute, godly, "Good" sense), a life of integrity and closeness with God. Second, it confirms God's expansive powers. In the case of Passover, God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt from an oppressive Pharaoh. So, it proves that not only does God have immense power, but he cares about communities and in social justice. In the case of Easter itself, Easter is the day Christ rose from the dead which is considered a miracle and only God could have revived someone from the dead. Easter also celebrates the mysteries of faith and death, both of which only God can answer in the Christian belief system.


How do Christians celebrate the 8 days of Passover?

Although some Christians can choose to reference Passover, they do not celebrate the actual Jewish holiday of Passover.

Christians celebrate the holiday of Easter which occurs at the same time of year as Passover (although the two holidays are completely unrelated).

Should Easter follow Passover?

Technically yes, as Easter celebrates Christ's Resurrection and Passover was either the day of the crucifixion or the day before it.However the dates of these holy days are currently determined by different calenders: Easter by the Gregorian solarcalender, Passover by the traditional Jewish lunarcalendar. As these calendars use different systems, dates in each shift with respect to the other, so in some years Easter comes before Passover.One of the many reasons Pope Gregory ordered the development of a new calendar was to avoid having to always consult the Jewish Rabbis for the date of Passover in order to compute the date of Easter (Jewish/Christian relations were very bitter by this time).
