Your own post proves that Pascha (Πάσχα) was celebrated by Christians before Constantine. Your Catholic education that you've touted on FR should have taught you that.
Please stop posting falsehoods about the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic church. Instead, you should spend the time studying the Scripture, brought to you by the Church, in an effort to cure your ignorance of Church teaching. One example is the association of ashes with penance, as clearly demonstrated in Scripture. If you had truly studied Scripture you would have known about this,and saved yourself the embarassment(sic) of your rant against the Christian practice.

The name Quartodeciman (“fourteenth” in Latin) derives from the fact that elements within the church, especially in Asia Minor, wished to honor Christ's death as the early church had done, according to Jewish reckoning on the 14th of Nisan—the same date as the Jewish Passover. Others, however, led by the church at Rome, wanted to celebrate Christ's resurrection at Easter, a wholly artificial date which was the Sunday following the first new moon in the new year (under the Julian Calendar, the New Year began at the vernal equinox, or March 25). Hence it was a debate about the 14th. The force of the argument is perhaps best seen in Constantine's own words in heralding the changes established by the Council: “It seemed to every one a most unworthy thing that we should follow the custom of the Jews in the celebration of this most holy solemnity, who polluted wretches! having stained their hands with a nefarious crime, are justly blinded in their minds. It is fit, therefore, that, rejecting the practice of this people, we should perpetuate to all future ages the celebration of this rite, in a more legitimate order, which we have kept from the first day of our Lord's passion even to the present times. Let us have nothing in common with the most hostile rabble of the Jews. We have received another method from the Saviour” (Isaac Boyle, Historical View of the Council of Nice with a Translation of Documents, J.B. Lippincott & Co., Philadelphia, 1879, p. 52). Yah'shua did not create a new organization. He was bringing the New Covenant as outlined in Jeremiah 31:31-37. He sent Peter to the largest Jewish community in the world at Babylon. Only Rav Sh'aul was sent to the Gentile nations. All this is clearly laid out the the Holy Word of Elohim. I point you to the Quartodeciman

These are not falsehoods to anyone who researches the Holy Word of Elohim.
Which is to the house of Israel and the House of Judah.
I can believe anonymous false claims on the internet, or Christ:
Mat 28:18 And Jesus coming, spoke to them, saying: All power is given to me in heaven and in earth.
Mat 28:19 Going therefore, teach ye all nations: baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Ghost.
Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world.
I can see why you want to change the subject.
Yah'shua did not create a new organization.
Who here claimed he did? Another sidetrack.
He sent Peter to the largest Jewish community in the world at Babylon.
Jesus didn't say Babylon had the largest Jewish community in the world. You need to spend some time with the Scriptures.
All this is clearly laid out the the Holy Word of Elohim.
Spend some time actually studying the Scriptures.
