Description Esto es algo divertido que llegó a mi mente. Aun como Cristianos, mi familia y yo, e incluso mi congregación, no participamos de estas fiestas judías (A excepción de la Santa Cena, comandada por Jesús para nosotros: Haced esto en memoria de Mí). Y aunque esto sea un mandamiento, el practicar y honrar las fiestas, esto aplica al pueblo judío específicamente, y/o, los que quieren practicarlas. Yo vendría siendo, Bíblicamente hablando, un gentil convertido (Todo esto que digo, lo digo basándome en el libro de los Hechos, cuando algunos querían implementar costumbres judías a los convertidos gentiles (como la circuncisión), costumbres que Pablo exhortó que no se hicieran)). También podría hacer mención al "Día de acción de gracias", porque considero que es algo cultural, bonito e imitable, pero cultural, ya que en Venezuela hay otras tradiciones. Sin embargo, hay algo que he notado en la Biblia, cuando Jesús participó en la Pascua.

En español es "Pascua", pero en inglés hay dos variantes: "Easter" y "The Passover". Obviamente cada una significa algo, pero yo lo ignoro totalmente porque siempre pensé que la traducción de Pascua (En Español) era Easter, y cuando busco Easter en google me aparece esta cosa del "Conejo de Pascua" xD! Que tampoco pienso que sea algo malo, pero sí me causó cierta confusión. Por eso digo que me pareció divertido.

Ahora, ¿cuál es la diferencia entre "Easter" y "The Passover" y cuál es el origen de cada uno, si bíblico o no? Es mi pregunta para los que conocen los términos y saben de lo que estoy hablando.

He aquí el dibujo, que manifiesta mi duda
Espero que estén muy bien. ¡Bendiciones!


This is something fun that came to my mind. Even as we are Christians, my family and I, and even my congregation, we don't partake of these Jewish holidays (Except for the Sacrament, what Jesus commanded to us: Do this in remembrance of Me). And although this is a commandment, this applies specifically to Jewish people and/or those who want to practice them. I would be, Biblically speaking, a Gentile convert (All this I say, I say it based on the book of Acts, when some wanted to implement Jewish customs to Gentile converts (such as circumcision), customs which Paul urged not to do)). I could also mention the "Thanksgiving day" because I think it's a cultural thing, nice and imitable, but cultural, because in Venezuela there are other traditions. However, there's something I've noticed in the Bible, when Jesus attended the Passover.

In Spanish it's "Pascua", but in English there are two variants: "Easter" and "The Passover". Obviously each one means something, but I do not know completely because I always thought that the translation of Pascua (In Spanish) was Easter, and when I search Easter on google I get this "Easter Bunny" thing xD! I don't think that's a bad thing, but I caused some confusion. So I say that I found it fun.

Now, what is the difference between "Easter" and "The Passover" and what is the origin of each, whether biblical or not? It is my question for those who know the terms and know what I'm talking about.

Here is the drawing, which shows my question
I hope you all are okay. Blessings!

Passover is a Jewish holiday, and although Christians believe in the story behind it they usually don't celebrate it, since the Passover had its fulfillment in the Passion and the Eucharist. Easter is a Christian holiday, though some non-Christians may use bunny and egg imagery.

Christians and Jews have different calendars for religious holidays. I'm not sure about the Jewish calendar but I think the Catholic calendar is based on the moon. Passover and Easter tend to occur around the same time of year but there is no direct correlation as far as I know.

I think eggs may have been a pagan symbol, but today for Christians they symbolize resurrection, new life, and/or the tomb from which Jesus emerged.

Not sure where the name Easter with the rabbit and hunting for eggs came from but the name Easter is used by many Christians for the death and resurrection of Jesus.  Passover is from when God set the slaves from Egypt free.  Its called Passover because the final plague on Egypt was when God took the lives of all the Egyptians firstborn but "Passed over" all the homes of the Jews who has sheep's blood on their doors.  Passover lasts a week from April 4th to 11th.  Apparently Easter is celebrated on different days for some Christians, for some its April 5th others its April 12th.  Both happen in April so that might be why they are considered the same.  Dont know if people celebrate them in the same celebration as they happen right on top of each other.

Easter comes from the name a Germanic goddess of spring, Eostre.  I believe rabbits and eggs were symbols of hers.
