Did you know?

Easter is sometimes called the Christian Passover, and Passover the Jewish Easter. Given that, it's not surprising that "Pasch" comes from the Hebrew word for "Passover" — "pesah." That word, in turn, is from Hebrew "pāsah," meaning "to pass over." One interpretation (though not the only one) is that the word refers to the final plague before the Jews were permitted to leave Egypt (the Exodus commemorated by the celebration of Passover), in which God slew the firstborn sons of the Egyptians but passed over the Jewish households. "Pesah" became "pascha" in Greek, then "Pasch" in English, which, like a basket with two eggs, has held both a reference to Passover and to the Christian celebration of Christ's Resurrection since at least 1200.

*Indicates the sense illustrated in the example sentence.

My sentence:
Since there is no such thing as separation of church and state, the United States will essentially grind to halt, save for egg hunts and chocolate bunny chasing, this (Good) Friday through Sunday when the Christian majority celebrate Pasch.
