Many used to, prior to the Council of Nicea which separated Easter from Passover, to which it was previously closely linked. Also, prior to the destruction of Jerusalem by the Romans, many early Christians thought of themselves as a Jewish sect and often worshiped in the same synagogues. After the destruction of Jerusalem, many early Christians went east to Petra, in Jordan.
