The reason Easter is after Passover is because It’s Holy Week that coincides with Passover and the particulars of the Jewish Lunar Calendar where days start at sundown and the Roman Solar Calendar where days start at Midnight.
The last supper was the Passover Seder and was on Holy Thursday Night/Good Friday and Christ rose on Sunday. In the Jewish Calendar it happens on the first full moon after the first new moon after the spring equinox. The celebration of Easter was decided to be on Sunday so it made sense to make sure Good Friday landed on or after Passover. That puts Easter after Passover.
The reason the Roman Catholic Church uses the Roman Solar Calendar instead of the Biblical Lunar Calendar? Have you ever even considered there may be some truth to Roman Catholicism being veiled sun worship, paganism with Christian trappings?
Easter is celebrated on a day specified only by the Roman Catholic Church, and not the Bible, and is fixed based on the sun and the Spring or Vernal equinox.
This is the reason Easter is after Passover.
The Hebrew calendar is lunar but also solar. There is a 13th month thrown in on occasion to keep things from getting too out of whack. The beginning of the Jewish year is the first new moon after the spring equinox so has some reliance on the sun as well.
That wasn't the question, and your reply is nothing but whataboutism.
