[fortran77]

In Hebrew, Easter is called "פסחא" which is very similar to Passover, "פסח" (Just an aleph added, and the prounciation changed a bit). However, the holidays have nothing to do with each other, despite Christian attempts to link the Paschal lamb to Jesus.

Nobody would say "The Jews have Easter" because we have no holiday commemerating the ressurection of a messiah. We beleive the messiah has yet to come.

> the holidays have nothing to do with each other

Well, if the holidays had nothing to do with each other, then the Early Christians reading the Gospels were all severely misled by the quite obvious references to Jesus as the Paschal Lamb, such as the Last Supper with no mention of a lamb on the table [because it was Jesus, the Lamb Himself, living among them]

and the very specific mention of Nisan and the 10th day, upon which to "take an unblemished lamb from teh flock"

was the day Pilate said "I find no fault [blemish] in this man [Jesus]"

And scholars for the last 2,000 years have colossally wasted their time, right up to and including Dr. Scott Hahn, who has staked his entire career on Jesus as the Paschal Lamb,

And priests and bishops and cardinals and popes have been super-wrong about relating the Passion, Death, and Resurrection to the Passover feast, or the little bit about Egypt and the first-born sons and the blood on the lintels of their doors, or the incident with Moses and the Hebrews escaping Pharaoh during the Parting of the Red Sea (which is sung liturgically with psalms for the Easter Vigil as folks are being literally baptized)

Man we've been wrong about all this stuff. Thank you, Horus, and thank you, Ishtar, for dispelling those silly myths about Oestre which is a pagan festival that also has nothing to do with Jews or Hebrew religion.
