Do Christians Celebrate Passover?
Q. As Christians are we to celebrate Passover in like manner as the Jews, instead of Resurrection Sunday, so called Easter? Or is Passover for the Jews only?
A. Since Passover commemorates the Jews being freed form bondage in Egypt, it’s not necessary for Christians to celebrate it. But attending a Messianic Passover can be very instructive in seeing how the Lord fulfilled the prophecies in the Passover in His first coming.
Our main interest in Passover lies in the fact that the following Sunday is the real Resurrection morning. Easter is a pagan holiday that was adapted to Christianity in the 4th century.
