Change: The resurrection established Jesus as the Son of God and is cited as proof that God will righteously judge the world.
To: The resurrection established Jesus as the Son of God and is cited as the manifestation of God's fulfillment of His promise to bring salvation to the world through His own righteous hand.
Reference Isaiah 59:16
Justification: to refer to the resurrection of Jesus as proof that God will judge the world is unbiblical and nonsensical to Christians, and appears to be a biased edit. Jesus's death and resurrection is God's display of ultimate love and sacrifice to the world to offer himself (his son) as an acceptable sacrifice purely to save humanity.

That's right the statement was false and not supported by the associated source. Now the sentence is deleted. However, to add your revised version you'll have to provide a reliable source supporting this statement. SanctumRosarium (talk) 16:54, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
If you do, please don't use archaic language from 400 years ago. And note that the Bible is not a reliable source. HiLo48 (talk) 23:07, 8 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is about a religious feast and there is nothing controversial in describing the rituals and traditions associated with this feast. Comments related to other topics, for example discussing the resurrection of Jesus, are irrelevant and should be deleted. SanctumRosarium (talk) 23:22, 9 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Passover and Easter are not related
The Jewish holiday of Passover (in Hebrew, Pesach) commemorates the exodus of the Jews from slavery in Egypt. The holiday originated in the Torah, where the word pesach refers to the ancient Passover sacrifice (known as the Paschal Lamb); it is also said to refer to the idea that God “passed over” (pasach) the houses of the Jews during the 10th plague on the Egyptians, the slaying of the first born. The holiday is ultimately a celebration of freedom, and the story of the exodus from Egypt is a powerful metaphor that is appreciated not only by Jews, but by people of other faiths as well. 62.157.102.5 (talk) 05:37, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Last Supper described in the Bible is believed to be the celebration of Passover by Jesus and his diciples.
The first sentence of the fourth paragraph says “The English term is derived from the Saxon spring festival Ēostre”, but it should say Anglo-Saxon, not Saxon. The reference for that sentence says Anglo-Saxon, and Anglo-Saxons are quite different from Saxons, who were and still are only established in Continental Europe and whose language is very different from English. Please correct this sentence. 2600:100A:B1E7:8F28:9CA2:E921:1AA2:4E52 (talk) 19:25, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The premise of the entire page is wrong.
I don't know your protocols.
I am a Christian, and things mentioned on this page seem almost totally Catholic (and maybe some Orthodox religions, and Lutheran churches go part way on these subjects), but not Christian at all.
Most Christians do not celebrate Passover, Pentecost (those are Jewish holidays), Lent, or Ash Wednesday. We don't know Pasha, whatever that is. We don't fast, and we don't do penance. Again, these are Catholic things, which the Bible does not tell us to copy. In fact, we were told in the beginning to not celebrate days, especially not Easter or Christmas. (Galatians 4:9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather are known of God, how turn ye again to the weak and beggarly elements, whereunto ye desire again to be in bondage? 4:10 Ye observe days, and months, and times, and years.) Instead, Christians celebrate Jesus every day.
It would be much better to just call Easter a holiday celebrated by Catholics and some other faiths but leave most Christians out. Even some of the pictures seem Catholic or Orthodox. Many Christian churches don't even have a cross so that we don't start worshipping that. We also do not worship Mary or any saints (we Christians are all saints). Christian baptism must be by immersion. Catholics stopped doing that hundreds of years ago because one man was too sick to get in the water. We also don't worship a pope nor confess to a priest. Also, the Church is the bride of Christ. That means Christians, not nuns. Christians and Catholics are like oil and water.
While you are perfectly entitled to it, your concept of what a Christian is seems a particularly narrow one. Wikipedia takes the broader position expressed in our article on the Christian Church. HiLo48 (talk) 03:46, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
