Easter is wonderful. It is around Spring. There are so many colors coming to life, and sunshine and warmer air. If a person is a believer in Christ, this can be a very uplifting time of appreciation, and time to enjoy family or friends.
From a Jewish perspective though, Easter has pagan roots, with pagan, non-kosher Ham food. It has also become too secular and commercialized. From a Jewish perspective, Easter is also on the wrong date, making it hard for Jews to recognize the fulfillment of prophecy in the life and death of Jesus the Messiah.
Easter was always supposed to be celebrated in conjunction with Passover. Yeshua - Christ died on the evening observance of Nisan 14, at the Spring Passover. He rose on First Fruits, 3 full days later, on the 17th of Nisan. He was the first to be resurrected from the grave. See 1 Corinthians 15:20. Good Friday, being only a day and a half away from Easter morning, is another reason why the Jews find contraindications in Christianity. They are looking for things to line up on their criteria list. If the Gentiles are in error in so many ways, why should they look even further?
