Uh... ignore the above post!This one should be better
You are correct, it is Passover; not Easter.
That 'pagan' EASTER really jumps around on the calendar.
I'll bet that drove PAGANS nuts trying to plan for it...

"That 'pagan' EASTER really jumps around on the calendar. I'll bet that drove PAGANS nuts trying to plan for it..." Sorry but this shows a profound lack of understanding of how the ancients tracked time.
It also ignores the etymology of the name 'Easter', coming from the name for the pagan goddess of fertility - Eostre; also known as Aphrodite, Ashtoreth, Astarte, Ishtar, etc in other cultures.
