Last I checked, I'm not Jewish.
What does being a Jew have to do with being a follower of Christ?
The Oracles of God was preserved by the Jews, "
to give to us."
"this do in remembrance of me"
this is the start of the 14th [Passover]
1Co 11:23 For I have received of the Lord that which also
I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus [the same night]
in which he was betrayed took bread:
1Co 11:24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it,
and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken
for you: this do in remembrance of me.
1Co 11:25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he
had supped, saying, This cup is the [New testament] in my blood:
this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.
referring back to this...
Luk 22:15 And he said unto them, With desire I have desired
to eat this [Passover with you] before I suffer: For I say
unto you, I will not any more eat thereof, until it be
fulfilled in the kingdom of God.
Luk 22:17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and said,
Take this, and divide it among yourselves:
Luk 22:18 For I say unto you, I will not drink of the fruit
of the vine, until the kingdom of God shall come.
Luk 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it,
and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given
for you: this do in remembrance of me.
Luk 22:20 Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This
cup is [the new testament] in my blood, which is shed for you.
Do what in remembrance of me? They were taking the Passover. Jesus
changed the symbols of the Passover only, did not do away with it.
The Passover service also consists of the foot washing...
Joh 13:12 So after he had washed their feet, and had taken his garments,
and was set down again, he said unto them, Know ye what I have done to you?
Joh 13:13 Ye call me Master and Lord: and ye say well; for so I am.
Joh 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet;
ye also ought to wash one another's feet.
Joh 13:15 For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done
to you. Joh 13:16 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater
than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him.
If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them. and then Paul says this...
1Co 5:6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth
the whole lump? Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump,
as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us:
1Co 5:8 Therefore let us keep [the feast], not with old leaven, neither with
the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity
and truth.
And
he said that to a Gentile church, to keep the feast of unleavened bread.
The Apostles continued to keep the days of unleavened bread.
Acts 12:3 (KJV)
And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take
Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.)
Acts 20:6 (KJV)
And we sailed away from Philippi after (the days of unleavened bread),
and came unto them to Troas in five days; where we abode seven days.

Nowhere is a Sunday morning Sunrise service that resembles Ishtar
service taught in scripture, but the Passover and the Days of Unleavened
Bread are taught. The pagan origins of Easter and how it became en-
trenched in our culture are facts of history.
The first Passover was when God covered Adams nakedness [type of sin]
with skins from an animal, or shed blood.
The Passover and the Days of Unleavened Bread was a memorial,
ordained forever, before one word of the old covenant was spoken.
Polycarp was a disciple of John the Apostle
Polycarp - Wikipedia
After the death of the apostle John, Polycarp,
waged a controversy over the Passover-Easter
question with the bishop of Rome.
Still later, another disciple Polycrates
Polycrates of Ephesus - Wikipedia
"Pope Victor I, Bishop of Rome, who was attempting
to force a universal practice of fasting until Easter,
so as to supersede the Jewish practice and prevent
Christians from partaking of the Passover.
Polycrates defended the Quartodeciman position in this
Easter controversy, claiming that he had received the
tradition from Polycarp and the Apostles.
The Quartodeciman Controversy.
Quartodecimanism - Wikipedia
Polycrates contended,
as Jesus and the original apostles taught,
that the Passover should be observed in the new Christian form
introduced by Jesus and by the apostle Paul (1 Corinthians 11),
using unleavened bread and wine instead of sacrificing a lamb,
on the eve of the 14th Nisan (first month of Gods sacred calendar,
occurring in the spring).
But in the end [the Rome church] insisted that it be observed on a Sunday.
