Passover is always the week of Easter - before.

That’s why we get the deMille flick “Ten Commandments” on network TV on Palm Sunday, instead of something dealing with the way-controversial Christian subject matter.

I always looked forward to “Jesus of Nazareth” at Easter when I was kid. Maybe we can get the networks to do “The Passion of the Christ” this year?

Nope. Not always. Three years out of every nineteen year lunar cycle the Gregorian e*ster comes a month early (after Purim) instead of during Pesach. These are the years that the Julian (Eastern Orthodox) e*ster falls a month after the Gregorian. That is the situation this year, when Purim is 3/21, Gregorian e*ster is 3/23, Pesach begins the night of 4/19, and Julian e*ster is 4/27.
