Palm Sunday & Passover

[ceebeegee]

I've been having some troubling, vivid dreams the last couple of nights.

Went to Mass this morning. It's that Holy Week thing again--since I missed Palm Sunday (Bad Clara!), I'm making up for it. Went Monday as well; am checking out the schedule for tomorrow and Friday, because I simply cannot sit through another 3+ hour Easter Vigil.

I thought that Passover and Holy Week were always the same week, but someone at work said that Passover is in two weeks. Hmm. That is odd--I wonder how our church decided when Easter is? I know it has something to do with the moons, but after all, the Last Supper was a seder.

The first night of Passover this year is actually April 23rd. Paula and I are going Florida that weekend to celebrate with my family.

Okay, so my Jewish co-worker is clearly on crack.

How long does Passover last?

Eight days. It ends May 1 at night.

It is only seven days in Israel.
