By the way, St Polycarp also speaks of other matters that Christ confirms that might be of similar interest to someone really seeking Truth (and not just trying to justify themselves with many words).

Polycrates This was written about 185/195 A.D. and shows that Polycarp celebrated the Passover on the fourteenth of the month as taught to him by the Apostles. He was a disciple of John, but also knew Phillip and his daughters. These all celebrated Passover as Our Savior and Lord did....on the fourteenth of the month. They did not celebrate "Easter".

Do you......as Polycarp did, celebrate the Passover on the fourteenth? He was of course martyred later for maintaining similar observances.

I would suggest spending more than a couple of minutes learning about St Polycarp.

There are many commentaries on St Polycarp and not all Orthodox or RC. But like a gold coin you must dig deeper than an inch to uncover the real treasure.
