<!-- interlanguage:start -->[[ko:파스카 논쟁 (유월절 논쟁)]][[vi:Tranh luận về Lễ Paschal (Tranh luận về Lễ Vượt Qua)]]<!-- interlanguage:end -->The '''Paschal controversy''' ['''Passover controversy'''] refers to the disputes that arose in the 2nd–4th centuries, caused by the conflicting insistence on the date of the Holy Supper between the Eastern and Western churches. '''Pascha''' [πασχα]<ref>[https://biblehub.com/greek/3957.htm 3957. pascha], ''Bible Hub''</ref> is a transliteration of the Hebrew word Pesach (פֶּסַח) into Greek; Pesach refers to the '''Passover''', the day when the Israelites were liberated from Egypt. After three times of disputes, the biblical [[Passover]], which is to have the Holy Supper on the fourteenth day of the first month by the sacred calendar, was abolished, and it was decided to have the Holy Supper on the day of [[Jesus Christ|Jesus]]’ [[resurrection]]. Accordingly, many theologians define the Paschal controversy as the controversy over the correct date for [[Day of Resurrection|Resurrection Day]], which is known as Easter, and call it the '''Easter controversy'''.<ref>[https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05228a.htm Easter Controversy], ''New Advent Catholic Encyclopedia''</ref> However, this is far from the historical fact because church history was recorded according to the insistence of the Western Church that had won the Paschal controversy.<ref>Paschal Controversies, A Religious Encyclopædia Or, Dictionary of Biblical, Historical, Doctrinal, and Practical Theology.
