[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Catholics and Lutherans absolutely do observe Passover. [/quote]

Catholics observe Easter, not Passover.[/quote]

You are incorrect. You are being very literal and hung up on the word "observe." The word "observe" in the sense of "aware of/marking/do-stuff-for-and-on/celebrate/acknowledge/take the opportunity to read and reflect" is what I mean.[/quote]

I’m Jewish. Passover has nothing to do with Jesus. Easter has everything to do with Jesus.

How can you possibly say they’re the same thing?! [/quote]

I...never said literally anything about Jesus on Passover!!!!

Christians “mark/acknowledge/talk about/learn about/do-stuff-on-and-for” Passover. That might be as simple as relevant readings followed by a simple church supper. To say “they don’t observe it” is false,

They also observe and celebrate Easter (of course). [/quote]

Is this really a widespread thing among Christians, though? I just have never heard of Christians sitting around and having a Seder. Are there tons of secret Christian Seders happening at Passover and us Jews just stupidly thought it was only our thing?[/quote]

[b]NP. secret Seders? They're widely advertised.[/b] I don't think Christians have them at home.

Christians feel like their religion is descended from Judaism (maybe I'm not explaining this right), so I don't see why we wouldn't be able to celebrate the Old Testament holidays. Jesus was also a Jew. [/quote]

The PP seems to feel that anything he doesn't have personal, direct knowledge of is "a secret," never mind that such suppers and community events appear on public-facing Catholic and Lutheran and other Christian church websites and have been held for decades.  :roll:

He apparently also doesn't know HOW TO GOOGLE: https://catechistsjourney.loyolapress.com/2008/03/catholics-doing-seder-meals/

PP, you don't have to like it, you don't have to think it's "legit," you don't have to think it is appropriate or productive or valid: but YES, Christians do, indeed, find many ways to recognize/mark/celebrate/honor/do-something-on Passover. For you to say otherwise is simply false.

Maybe reflect on the fact that you don't have to personally know something for it to be true. [/quote]
