[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Spring break in montgomery county is designed around the jewish passover more than the easter. [/quote] Passover and Easter tend to occur at the same time each year. (This is not a coincidence.) But while the state of Maryland does not have any laws about closing schools during Passover, it does have a law about closing schools on Good Friday and Easter Monday. In short: no.[/quote] Passover is celebrated after sundown in any case.[/quote] Ok, first of all, Passover begins after sundown, but lasts for 8 full days. Secondly, t's typically linked to most eastern orthodox Easter celebrations, but frequently does not coincide with Easter as celebrated in the west, since they follow the Gregorian calendar (which is solar), and not the Hebrew calendar (which is lunisolar).
