re: #266 Eclectic Cyborg

And this is a very concise explanation of what took literally centuries to work out. But it was just that crazy from what I can see.

Ironically, for all the hooraw about settling the date of Easter, we don’t know exactly when Jesus was executed. Nor do we know for certain whether the Last Supper was a Passover meal (synoptic gospels) or something else, not specified (John). Apparently the earliest followers of Jesus didn’t find that to be especially important. I would suspect it became an issue once nascent Christianity was irreparably separated from Judaism, and for the reason you suggest.
