The study assesses the main issues in the current debate about the
early history of Pesach and Easter and provides new insights into
the development of these two festivals. The author argues that the
prescriptions of Exodus 12 provide the celebration of the Pesach in
Jerusalem with an etiological background in order to connect the
pilgrim festival with the story of the Exodus. The thesis that the
Christian Easter evolved as a festival against a Jewish form of
celebrating Pesach in the second century and that the development
of Easter Sunday is dependent upon this custom is endorsed by the
authora (TM)s close study of relevant texts such as the Haggada of
Pesach; the a oePoem of the four nightsa in the Palestinian Targum
Tradition; the structure of the Easter vigil.
