When Did Easter Stop Being Passover — And Why the Date Keeps Changing? This video explores the origin of Easter, its connection to Passover, how pagan spring festivals influenced Easter symbolism, and how the date of Easter is calculated. Easter is often seen as a standalone Christian holiday—but originally, it was directly tied to Passover.
