Why do supposed Christians have the urge to celebrate other religious groups’ holidays? I don’t get it.

I don’t see a lot of Jews celebrating Christmas or Muslims celebrating Easter. I don’t see a lot of Buddhists celebrating the Ascension or Hindus celebrating All Saints Day.

All of these things people do to show they are “inclusive” just come across as phony and self-serving.

I guess Jesus was the first Christian trying to co-opt Passover when he shared it with his disciples before his death?

The symbolism of the Passover seder is a part of Christianity. The cup and the unleavened loaf (symbolic) are part of most Christian worship services. Like it or not, the first Christians were Jews and if not for Passover, might never have been born in the Holy Land.

Regarding Christians and Judaism, we are grafted into the faith says Paul.

I'd like to get a religious Jes's POV on this. But Christianity is without a doubt related to Judaism. Their Prophets are ours; their Scriptures; their Decalogue; their Messiah. Jesus was a rabbi; heir to the throne of David; son of a Galilean Jewess, Miriam. Best not to forget that.

And in most languages (English being an exception) the word for Easter is "Pesach," "Pascha," "Pasqua," --- all words referring to Passover.

So a Christian Seder is a little goyish but not altogether un-Kosher.
