Jeffrey Shaw Posted April 4, 2013 Author Share Posted April 4, 2013 Easter is tied to the feast of the Passover - which pre-dates Christianity by (just a) bit. A lot! Well over 1300yrs., in fact. Passover: instituted in Jewish Year 2448, which was 3325 yrs. ago [= 1312 BCE]. Easter: instituted no earlier than about 1983 yrs. ago [30 CE] but probably at least a few centuries more recently. But my point was not about whose festival is older: rather, about the unpredictability of the Easter Bank Holidays' dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
