There is no church that celebrates the Passover today, except the World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG). That's really a wonder. Satan, who opposes God has been devising all kinds of crafty schemes to abolish the truth of life God has given us. Especially he has been trying to hinder the truth of the Passover from the second century about 100 years after Jesus' ascension up until today.
After the Apostolic Age, the early Church was divided into the Eastern Chruch led by Jerusalem and Asia Minor and the Western Church led by Rome. Around that time, the Eastern Church that had been holding Communion on the Passover.
Around AD155, the first dispute was initiated between Polycarp the bishop of the Church in Smyrna and Anicetus the bishop of the Church in Rome representing the Western Churches. Polycarp, who was personally taught by Apostle John, strongly rejected the Western Churches' claim that the celebration of the Passover on the 14th of Nisan should be abolished and Communion should be held on Easter instead.
The first controversy over the Pasca(Passover) failed and around AD197 the Eastern and Western Churches clashed with each other over the same matter again. Victor the bishop of the Church of Rome forced all the churches to follow the Rule of Dominic, under which they should celebrate the Passover Communion on Easter the first Sunday following the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Polycrates the bishop of the Church of Ephesus and all the other Eastern Churches also rejected it, saying they should celebrate the Passover just as the apostles did.
Due to Satan's crafty schemes, however the power of lawlessness gradually became stronger and at the Council of Nicaea convened by the Rome Emperor Constantine in AD325 it was decided that the Passover Communion should be celebrated on Easter. So, the Passover was completely abolished. The Passover and Easter are totally different feasts. Nevertheless, Satan cleverly connected the two feasts and abolished the Passover.
Since the Passover, which contains the promise of eternal life, was abolished. No one has been able to enter the kingdom of heaven for over 1600 years. So, many churches in the world today do not observe the Passover but follow the doctrines that have been changed. However, the Second Coming Christ Ahnsahnghong has restored the New Covenant Passover according to Bible prophecy.
Therefore, we need to clearly realize what church has the truth of the New Covenant Passover as the church established by God Himself and we should go the that church, so we can enter the kingdom of heaven.
I do thank Christ Ahnsanghong and Heavenly Mother for granting us the truth of life, passover again. Until God the Father comes to this earth at the last day, I will obey God's will and God's wish by keeping all the feasts fo love.
