"Easter" rooted in anti-semitism




Medieval Killing of Jews
"To ensure that Easter would not be celebrated at the same time of the Jewish Passover, the council of Nicea (A. D. 325) decreed that if the Jewish Passover fell on a Sunday, then Easter was to be celebrated the following Sunday in order to have “nothing in common with the detestable Jewish crowd.” Endtimes 4/12/2001
 
 
"A typically hostile broadside is in John 5:18, which begins in the New Revised Standard Version (1990)--and is virtually identical to the King James Version (1611): "For this reason, Jews were trying all the more to kill (Jesus). . .""In the 4th Century, Constantine, the emperor of the Roman Empire, becomes a Christian, and the Christians gain power. The intra-Jewish fight between two religions becomes something dramatically different when Christianity is in charge. That is when these texts turn lethal."
After Constantine's conversion, for example, the death penalty was imposed on Jews who married Christians." ChicagoTribune
