Yes, it was an ancient and widespread custom. It is in the Talmud...Was the fast of the firstborn practiced in the first century? I know of no source documenting this.
Indeed so, this is entirely correct.The Jews didn't celebrate it. The Romansnever heard of the name "Easter".
Don't tell the Greeks that lol!!!Indeed I do, but Passover is a Feast of Israel, a sacrificial commemoration of the Exodus, with a lamb slaughtered and eaten in the night. Easter is none of those things.
No it doesn't. Wine was served at Passover.
If you wish to have must [grape juice] all year, put grape juice in an amphora and seal the cork with pitch; sink it in a fishpond. After thirty days take it out. It will be grape juice for a whole year (De Agri Cultura CXX).
Greek Orthodox people know that Easter Sunday is not Good Friday; it is on Good Friday that the Lord's crucifixion is commemorated.Don't tell the Greeks that lol!!!
I was talking about roasting and eating a lamb! The Greek Orthodox do that every year. You said: with a lamb slaughtered and eaten in the night. Easter is none of those things.Greek Orthodox people know that Easter Sunday is not Good Friday; it is on Good Friday that the Lord's crucifixion is commemorated.
In temple Judaism lambs were sacrificed and taken to be roasted and eaten on the night of their slaughter but easter is not on that day it is on the Sunday following, after the Sabbath.I was talking about roasting and eating a lamb!

Oy Veh! LOL I KNOW THAT! I was making a joke...lighten up! Every Pascha, Greek Orthodox roast lambs in their backyards. It is quite the feast!In temple Judaism lambs were sacrificed and taken to be roasted and eaten on the night of their slaughter but easter is not on that day it is on the Sunday following, after the Sabbath.
When making a joke it pays to say that is what you have done.Oy Veh! LOL I KNOW THAT! I was making a joke
I thought it was obviousWhen making a joke it pays to say that is what you have done.
LOL SpineykopitaMr. Panos will explain "Greek Easter" when Jesus rose from the dead because Jesus died for Greek peopul sins. Christos Anesti!

Also the Apostles keeping passover did not include Gentiles. It was illegal for Gentiles to keep Passover as the law commands.Indeed I do, but Passover is a Feast of Israel, a sacrificial commemoration of the Exodus, with a lamb slaughtered and eaten in the night. Easter is none of those things.
Yes, and gentiles did not break the law in eating the Jewish Passover, like the Apostles did.I agree they are two separate celebrations of separate events. But again metaphor comes into play. For it is also a "Passover" for Christ into his new state of being. But it does not have anything to do with the Passover of Exodus.
But Wikipedia is actually more than a single source. It is often a compilation of many sources.
I love going to our festival and ordering Θα ήθελα ένα Jy-ro και ένα mouse-kaka. (I would like a gyro and a moussaka). Ahhh, being a xeno can be so much funLOL Spineykopita
You could as long as you were circumcised (if a male of course)...Also the Apostles keeping passover did not include Gentiles. It was illegal for Gentiles to keep Passover as the law commands.
Is it in the Mishnah?Yes, it was an ancient and widespread custom. It is in the Talmud...
I guess that probably omits all females.You could as long as you were circumcised (if a male of course)...
The LORD said to Moses and Aaron, “This is the ordinance of the Passover: no foreigner is to eat of it; but every man’s slave purchased with money, after you have circumcised him, then he may eat of it. A sojourner or a hired servant shall not eat of it. (Exodus 12:43–45) But if a stranger sojourns with you, and celebrates the Passover to the LORD, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near to celebrate it; and he shall be like a native of the land. But no uncircumcised person may eat of it. The same law shall apply to the native as to the stranger who sojourns among you.” (Exodus 12:48–49)
He's drinking French Press coffee! Heretic!Mr. Panos will explain "Greek Easter" when Jesus rose from the dead because Jesus died for Greek peopul sins. Christos Anesti!
