Does Passover always overlap Easter?

I know that in the Last Supper was a Seder, etc, but I'm talking in the current day...

 Do they always overlap? Instead of doing a Seder on the first night, my in-laws always try to schedule it the first Saturday during Passover so we can all get together. But it seems like that is almost always the Sunday before Easter. 

This year I asked MH if we can come home after (really late) but offered to go up there a day before so they still get a lot of time with the kids and I'll still get Easter morning. Hoping that is ok. If not I guess we'll hide eggs, etc at their house.

I just hate balancing the two holidays. So do they always overlap or does it just seem that way?

Re: Does Passover always overlap Easter?

  • No, they don't.  Jewish holidays fall on the same day on the hebrew calendar, but, that is a different calendar than the one that we all follow.  Passover can be as early as March and as late as late April.

  • This year the seders are Friday night and Saturday night.  Would they be open to doing it Friday night so that you could more easily be home for Sunday?

  • No they don't.  This is the first time in a long time they are so close.  I know it will be  super busy weekend for us.

    We live 3 hours away from them. My BIL lives about 3.5 - 4 hours away. Since we all work they do Saturday so that everyone can come even if it isn't a traditional day for a seder. (This year it happens to be one of the traditional days).

    Actually my BIL lives near us so last year we offered our house and my ILs came here. MIL still cooked, etc because she enjoys that. It was really nice and worked out well, but this year Passover falls the week before the tax deadline so my FIL that works as a tax preparer can't have enough time off to come out our way.

    I am so not one of those "but it's my holiday" girls so if they don't always overlap and they don't want to start dinner early enough for us to come home that night, I'll step down and give them this year. I just don't want to always lose my traditions so that's why I asked.
