They are not in French! "Easter" is "Pâques" (/pak/ or /pAk/) while Passover is "la Pâque" (/lapak/ or /lapAk/). The main difference (besides the minor difference in writing) is the fact that "la Pâque" needs the definite article, while "Pâques" doesn't accept it. Christophe Grandsire |Sela Jemufan Atlinan C.G.
