SO what do Jewish folks celebrate on Easter just passover?
Jews won't touch Easter and neither should Christians. It has nothing to do with either faith.
I'm sure my sister knows she a Messianic Christian. They don't celebrate Easter right? Its pagan Peter rabbit the easter eggs all that has its origins in Paganism? Theres a holuday for Pagans too Spring Equinox? OS it all related the Equinox and Easter ?
A "Messianic Christian"? What on earth is that? I have heard of "Messianic Jews" who accept Jesus as Messiah but refuse to be called "Christians"....not wanting to be associated with Christendom....I don't blame them.
The entire celebration was grafted onto the "last supper" and pretends to be Christian but even the name Easter is the name of the fertility goddess who was worshipped around the time of the Spring equinox. They can't claim it isn't pagan when they did not even remove the name of the foreign deity and kept her fertility emblems (rabbits chickens and eggs)
*** mod edit*** Its all about the chocolate. Jesus was never part of that pagan festival.
Don't Christians also celebrate or recognize friday before Sunday when Jesus was in the grave? Those who have good knowledge please explain????????? Good Friday.
For Christians, the Passover was replaced by the commemoration of the "Last Supper". Jesus instituted the memorial of his death on Passover night of Nisan 14 and the Passover was always held annually on the correct date, rather than the correct day. If Nisan 14 fell on a Wednesday, then the Passover was held on a Wednesday. Anniversaries are pretty insignificant unless you observe them on the right day and date.
This year the observance of the Lord's Supper falls on a Friday, after Sundown. The Jewish day began at sundown and finished at sundown the following day.
Nisan 14 of 33 CE began at sundown Thursday evening and Jesus used the bread and wine at the Passover observance to institute the New Covenant with his apostles. He died around 3PM the next day (still Nisan 14)
(Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:24-26)
O have read it was impossible for Jesus to have been burrried in the tomb on Friday night because it was against the Jewish laws concerning Shabot the sabbath which makes the crucifixion kind of not possible.........does anyone have issues with that as well???????
No, it was not possible to have enough time to prepare his body for a proper Jewish burial before sundown on Nisan 14 because Nisan 15 was a Sabbath. They washed his badly beaten body and laid him in the tomb with the full intention of completing his burial preparation once the sabbath was over (Sunday morning). But as it turned out, that was not necessary.
