Quote from the article: “We Greeks don’t do Easter until after Passover, because how can you have Easter BEFORE Passover.”
Simple, stop being Jewish.
I wonder how influenced Wilson is by her Muslim father?
From a theological point of view, you can't divorce the New Testament from the Old Testament and still call yourself a Christian. For Christians, the New Testament is the fulfillment of the Old Testament. The New Testament makes very clear the Lord's Jewish lineage on his mother's side. If it was "unimportant", why would the writer have bothered?
There is a relationship between the lamb sacrificed to save the Jews during the Passover and the Lamb who Sacrificed Himself to save us. The Bible tells us that Christ celebrated the Passover as the Last Supper, and was crucified & died during that Passover week. To divorce those events from each other -- and from Easter-- makes no sense.
"I wonder how influenced Wilson is by her Muslim father?"
Obviously, from this article, not very much. I was suprised at just how much of a dedicated Orthodox Christian she and Tom were, I really had expected them to be nominally Orthodox.
We don't even really know if her father was ever spiritually "a Muslim" -- only that his first name is one that usually denotes a Bulgarian Muslim. But from what I understand in that region from where he is from, Bulgarian Orthodox and Muslims intermarry and religious differences really didn't meant very much, especially during the communist period.
We get our first names from our parents; we don't name ourselves. Do you really think that Iranian-raised, Christiane Amanpour is "a Christian" just because her firstname says that she is? Sarajevo-born, Emir Kusturica is a devoted Orthodox Christian convert who gave up his city and his country to convert -- frankly, I'd say that this act makes "more Christian" than those of us who have had to sacrifice nothing for our Faith.
