quote: The Jewish people also had a celebration around this time of year which is pointed out in Scripture known as the Passover, the observance when the angels of death passed over the homes of the faithful who marked their doorposts with the blood of the lamb (a blood sacrifice) to spare them from death. Ironically, the Christian holiday is sort of the same thing - Jesus, the lamb of God, being the blood sacrifice to spare believers from death in hell.I agree this isn't very ironic, many of the rituals practiced by the jews in the Old Testament are a type or picture of the redemptive work of the Son of God, Jesus Christ. Beyond that I agree, there really are no truly Christian holidays. Easter is probably the closest we have.
