OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN OH MAN

Not to nitpick, but the Pennsylvania Dutch aren't Dutch. They're German, or “Deutsch”. They are bringing German traditions over, and therefore our easter celebrations are mainly German. “Paas” and “passen” (when used in this fashion) are most definitely Dutch, but the egg dye company was started by neither a Dutch or German. The PA. Dutch (Germans) do not refer to it as 'passen', but as die Ostern. There's just a darn lot of confusion in America - a lot of German things have wrongly been attributed to the Dutch (because of those wrongly-named PA. Dutch). Just fact-correctin', yo.
