Well... since it created some interest...

The last supper was the Seder, the passover meal. Passover is the 15th day of Nissan - 15 days after the vernal equinox. not the 3rd or so Sunday after...

The word Easter is mentioned only once - in Acts - and if you translate it from any concordance (Hebrew scriptures) it will translate "Passover". Look up Easter in any old Webster's Collegiate dictionary. It will surprise you...it did me.

Easter is a pagan holiday merged with the Christian observance of the crucifixion...presumeably to get a bigger attendance. It was about pagan rites of spring -reproduction - bunnies! and myth - the egg.

Oh yeah, Jim is correct. add up the days, Good Friday is not the right day -but very convenient!
