Pascual

/pɑːˈskwɑːl/ adjective

Definition

Relating to Passover or Easter; connected to the Jewish Passover festival.

Etymology

From Latin 'paschalis,' derived from 'pascha' (Passover), which came from Hebrew 'pesaḥ'; entered English via Old French and church Latin.

Kelly Says

The word 'paschal' connects three religions through one holiday—the Latin church used it for Easter, the Hebrew root describes Passover, and the blend shows how history intertwines traditions.
