"Yeah but Passover got bastardized. Bibilically it occurs on Nisan 14 and was observed by early Christians (and many today) as a memorial of the Lord's atoning death on the cross."

THAT'S your problem? Whether it's on Nisan 14 or the Sunday following? Talk about straining out gnats and swallowing camels. If THAT'S your big concern, Nisan 14 now and Nisan 14 then are two different things. The Jews now have a fixed system for adding the extra month; then they didn't. Oh, well.

Well, that's not my ONLY problem... :-)

Number 1 I do think it's important that we observe the Lord's holy days WHEN he said to observe them.

But number 2 the focus of Passover is and should be on the DEATH of Christ on the cross and his redemptive sacrifice. Modern Christianity has altered that message and them by making Easter ABOUT his resurrection. Two different things that lead believers astray...which is why we have easter eggs and easter bunnies.
