Relating to Passover or Easter; connected to the Jewish Passover festival.
From Latin 'paschalis,' derived from 'pascha' (Passover), which came from Hebrew 'pesaḥ'; entered English via Old French and church Latin.
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.
