Must be a language thing then.
In French:
Passover = Pâques
Easter = Pâques
In French:
Passover = Pâques

So, let'S rephrase my question: is Passover on the same day as Easter?

paxx, looked it up and here's what I found.
Passover is the 8 day observance commemorating the freedom and exodus of the Israelites (Jewish slaves) from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II.
A time of family gatherings and lavish meals called Seders, the story of Passover is retold through the reading of the Haggadah. With its special foods, songs, and customs, the Seder is the focal point of the Passover celebration. Passover begins on the 15th day of the Jewish month of Nissan. As the Jewish day begins at sundown the night before, for the year 2003, the first night of Passover will be April 16th.
Very interesting, really did not know. Internet is a wonderful thing.

Interesting. Hum...
I wonder why in French both holidays have the same name.
So, Larry, if you were a French jewish, you wouldn't be insulted, as you would indeed celebrate Easter.
Maybe you tell people though "Why, thanks, but it was last week!"

Ah, the Internet is indeed a wonderful thing.
It seems that "Paques" means "passage". For the jews: passage of the nile; for the chistians: passage from death to resurection.
But I think they are more related than that.
What we call the Jewish Easter (Passover), in the days where Christ lived (from what I read) started at sundown on the 14th day of Nissan and went on for 7 days after that.
Where the Chistian Easter is on the first sunday following the 14th day of Nissan.
Obviously both holidays are indeed related, but I don't quite get it yet. Will continue to read.
Interesting though.

Jews that do not believe that Jesus was the Messiah do not celebrate Easter. Some Jews do accept He is the Messiah and do celebrate Easter.

Not my point, RPG.
My point is that Easter is the Christian Passover.
In some languages (such as French) they both have the same name.
And they both happen almost at the same time.

However, most religions do have a celebration of rebirth and renewal in the Springtime.
Personally, I have no problem with someone wishing me a Happy Easter and I wish all my friends here a happy holiday (whichever one they celebrate.)
Peace.
