In all you do, always remember those immortal words of Dr. Martin Luther King Jnr, that “The true measure of a man is not how he behaves in moments of comfort and convenience, but how he stands at times of controversy and challenges”. 🇺🇸

Shalom from Japan! When I first came to faith in Yeshua the Messiah, I was lost in a sea of events and holidays I had never celebrated, with names unfamiliar to me. Easter was one of them. In fact, the modern Hebrew name for it – Pascha – was my biggest riddle. Later, I discovered that it is the Greek name for Passover. In my Jewish Israeli mind, it made sense that since the events took place during Passover, they would be connected to that name. However, when I began to travel in the United States, the name “Easter” kept coming up. “What is this all about?” I asked myself. I went to the books and found that the most commonly cited explanation comes from the 8th-century English monk Bede. He wrote that: ▪️ The name derives from a pagan Anglo-Saxon goddess called Eostre (or Ostara). ▪️ She was associated with spring, renewal, and fertility. ▪️ The month in which the Christian celebration occurred was called Eosturmonath, named after her. Over time, when Christianity spread in northern Europe, the celebration of the resurrection adopted the existing local name. Rabbits and eggs were also later cultural additions to the season, as they represent birth, renewal, and reproduction. Much of the above may be interesting to see and experience, but to the average Jewish person, adding a new holiday can feel somewhat foreign. So I had to dig deeper, only to discover that there was never any need for a new holiday. If the purpose is to celebrate Yeshua’s resurrection, then it is already embedded in a feast that was waiting for its fulfillment during that Passover season: the Feast of Firstfruits. It is the third of the seven feasts of the Lord listed in Leviticus 23:9–14. Verses 11–12, in particular, identify both the timing and the offering: “He shall wave the sheaf before the Lord, to be accepted on your behalf; on the day after the Sabbath the priest shall wave it. And you shall offer on that day, when you wave the sheaf, a male lamb of the first year, without blemish, as a burnt offering to the Lord.” Paul the apostle wrote: “But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1 Corinthians 15:20) So here you have it – a perfect fulfillment of an already existing appointed time. No need for new names or additional traditions. Have a blessed weekend, remembering the real Passover Lamb who was slain and how, on the day after the Sabbath, He became the Firstfruits! Thankful for His sacrificial death, empowered by His resurrection, and awaiting His return, Amir
