Subject: thanks for an informative post. I had no clue that's how they figured out the daying of Easter. I alwasy figured it was just six weeks after Mardi Gras. :-)

[> [> You're right too, Kat. Fat Tuesday (Mardi Gras) and Ash Wednesday (the start of Lent) are determined by Easter. They are about 40 days prior to Easter, and were set up by the Catholic Church. Okay, here's your trivia for the day -- Does anybody know what the Passover is? -- Texasbrat, Monday, March 24, 4:42:48 [1]

[> [> [> If any of you are Jewish, please feel free to state this better - Passover is a Jewish commemoration of the sparing of the Hebrews' firstborns during the final plague sent by God upon the Egyptians to set the Hebrews free from bondage. They marked their houses with the blood of a lamb and were passed over during this plague. -- Ninja_Girl, Monday, March 24, 7:08:55 [1]

[> [> [> [> I picked up the most interesting booket at the grocery store a few days ago, a Passover Haggadah from the Maxwell House coffee people. A haggadah seems to be the guide for doing a seder, the traditional meal to celebrate the passover. It shows and tells how to set the seder table and the foods involved, then in both Hebrew and English it gives the script to be said during the seder meal. The English print doesn't read right to left as in Hebrew, but the booklet does start from what English readers would consider the back. I will keep this for reference and really appreciate its being made available by Maxwell House. -- Ninja_Girl, Monday, March 24, 7:29:20 [1]
