Market Comparison Breakdown: Compare Easter vs Passover

Easter and Passover have a lot in common: They share themes of liberation and triumph; they both involve buying a lot of eggs; they were both a pretty big deal for Jesus.  These annual holidays do not fall on a fixed date but rather vary according to astronomical occurrences.  Easter is always the first Sunday after the first full moon of spring … while Passover is always on the 15th of the Jewish month of Nissan, which is also a full moon in the spring. Therefore the two holidays often overlap.  After all, Easter happens against the backdrop of Passover. Yet about 15 percent of the time, the two holidays actually occur a month apart. So no matter when they begin in relation to one another the results below show a trading comparison between Easter and Passover.  

No matter which religious holiday you celebrate … there is money to be made in the markets.
