passover
19:1 Then Pilate took Jesus and had him whipped with cords.
19:2 And the men of the army made a crown of thorns and put it on his head, and they put a purple robe on him.
19:3 And they kept coming and saying, Long life to the King of the Jews! And they gave him blows with their hands.
In most languages of Christian societies, other than English, German and some Slavic languages, the holiday's name is derived from Pesach, the Hebrew name of Passover, a Jewish holiday to which the Christian Easter is intimately linked. Easter depends on Passover not only for much of its symbolic meaning but also for its position in the calendar; the Last Supper shared by Jesus and his disciples before his crucifixion is generally thought of as a Passover seder, based on the chronology in the Synoptic Gospels.
