The Passover and the Festival of Unleavened Bread
Leviticus 23
4 “‘These are the Lord’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The Lord’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the fifteenth day of that month the Lord’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. 7 On the (first day / Sunday) hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. 8 For seven days present a food offering to the Lord. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’”
The women did not attend his grave on Sunday according to scriptures.
Mark 16:9
[The earliest manuscripts and some other ancient witnesses do not have verses 9–20.] When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.
Easter, a Pagan Christian festival, it embodies many Pre Christian traditions. The 8th-century English scholar St. Bede, he claimed it came from Eastre, (Also known as Ishtar) the Anglo Saxon name for a Teutonic goddess of spring and fertility. Traditions associated with the festival survive in the Easter rabbit, a symbol of fertility, and in the colored Easter eggs, originally painted with bright colors to represent the sunlight of spring, also given as gifts. Such festivals and the stories help explain their origin.
The early Christians, of whom were of Jewish origin, they were brought up in the Hebrew tradition.
According to the New Testament, Christ was crucified on Friday the 13th , just before the eve of Passover began, and three days afterward rose from the dead.
In time, a serious difference over the date of the Easter festival arose among Christians. The Christians of Jewish origin celebrated the resurrection immediately following the Unleavened Bread Festival, the first part of the week after the two Sabbaths. Christians of Pagan origin wanted to commemorate the resurrection on the first day of the week, Sunday.
The Council of Nicaea Ruling on the Date of Easter.
The Roman emperor, Constantine the Great, convoked the Council of Nicaea in 325. The council unanimously ruled that the Easter festival should be celebrated throughout the Christian world on the first Sunday after the full moon following the vernal equinox.
And if the full moon should occur on a Sunday and thereby coincide with the Unleavened Bread Festival, Easter should be commemorated on the Sunday following. In that way the feasts of Easter and Unleavened Bread coinciding was avoided.
Pope Gregory and Paganism.
The attitude of the Catholic Church toward paganism is best summed up by Pope Gregory the Great, in his words to a missionary: “You must not interfere with any traditional belief or religious observance that can be harmonized with Christianity.”
Not only were the Congregations divided by Gnosticism, but enticed by philosophy and paganism also, and there were geographic divisions as well.
Pope Gregory 540 – 12 March 604.
What were the Pagan beliefs harmonized with Christianity? Maybe the answer can be found by comparing Orthodox Judaism to Paganism.
