Do people who call themselves Christians keep Passover?

Is this thread coherent? Is it legitimate?

Toto

There are in fact some Christians who celebrate Passover.

No for most. Their loss. A good part of the reason they don't understand what the intent was, of what it is they read without understanding. Being non-observant, so much flies right over their heads without being observed.

Perhaps if they were not so hung up on the calling of themselves 'Christians', so much would not escape them.

WIKI says 'in many languages, the words for "Easter" and "Passover" are etymologically related or homonymous'.



Computus is the actual calculation of "Easter", which as noted in the OP, is characterized by several (4) controversies.

In Swedish (and AFAIK in Norwegian and Danish) there is no separate word for Passover. We use påsk, and if needed den judiska påsken ('the Jewish Easter').

Sheshbazzar

No one that has never stayed awake and kept the vigil through the third watch of Leyla Shemorem will ever know what it is that they have missed.
There are some things one simply has to DO, and to experience first-hand and personally in order to be able understand.
Those that do not, for whatever reason, they will never understand.

Find the First Month, and the First hour of The First Month, then count off the hours, and the 'Watches' in their order.
Don't let lying fools do your work for you.

In fact? So by what objective criterion is it determined that a person is Christian?

If there are in fact people who call themselves Christians who keep Passover, who are they? It is not helpful to merely state that such people exist.

So would it be correct to say that Swedes, Danes and Norwegians celebrate escape from the deaths of their first-born in Egypt, over two thousand years ago?

Toto

Are there any such objective criteria anywhere that any significant group of Christians agree on?

And for that person that is paying attention, and is diligently searching the Scriptures, and is not simply 'going through the motions' of a ritual, Each year as they 'observe' to 'keep' and to 'DO' this 'remembrance', will thereby in the -doing- learn, and will be renewed in a remembrance of mighty things of old, which will become made new again. And you will come to KNOW with an absolute certitude many things that have long since been obscured and forgotten, which the world, even the religious world no longer perceives nor understands.

And the amazing thing is, to gain this perfect, immutable and secret knowledge one does not even need to believe in the existence of any Deity, God, 'Yahweh', or that there ever existed a 'Moses', or that any real 'Jesus' or 'Yeshua' of Nazareth ever lived.
All of that fiction simply does not make any difference at all, and a literal belief of it is not required to obtain access to understanding something far greater than these old children's tales.
The Biblical myths only serve as a mnemonic medium to contain a pattern. The outlandish Biblical stories exist to grab human attention, like so much brightly colored fruit to draw the eye.

Once you become aware, and this is -only- possible through repeated observance and practice, you will know what it is that is immutable, and as old as the Universe.

This is a difficult thing to convey to anyone who has not personally DID it, and sought out the hidden things, and there is strong tendency to be so skeptical as to lazily dismiss it with little study or knowledge, and no 'observance' or 'practice' of doing.
I can give direction to the treasure of the ages, (and already know I sound like an utterly insane fool for the effort, thank you) but it remains to each individual that would hold it in their hand, to go out and and observe, and to take the measure of it for themselves.
