In order to establish an authentic artifact attention is given to: details.
First, Jesus specified to remember his day of death - Luke 22:19-20.
Easter traditions have little to do with Jesus' death and resurrection.
Easter is about old folk customs and Not Scripture.
The non-biblical celebration of the ' Resurrection of Spring '.
To try to ' Christianize " the pagans false teachers made it easier to associate pagan-festival ideas with Jesus.
Putting Jesus' death and resurrection on a pagan calendar helped smoothed the way for pagan mass conversion.
Jesus' death from the Jewish calendar was the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan.
Just as with modern calendars a wedding anniversary does Not always fall on a Friday or a Sunday.
So, the anniversary of Jesus' death and resurrection can't always fall on a Friday and a Sunday.
The result is: that ' Easter ' is Not a real Christian celebration even though Bible names were added to it.
