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...

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.
