"On concluding, we wish to recall also he who, after Easter, was chosen to replace the traitor." Some KJ versions have Easter in the text but it should read Passover.

Unless the Holy Father was speaking in English or German, I doubt he said "Easter." Most other languages have some cognate of "Passover."

Same thing, anyway. Matthias was chosen to replace Judas after what we English speakers call "Easter," the day of the Lord's Resurrection.
