The churches in the West agreed to follow the Rule, but the churches in the East which were the foundation of the Christian Church greatly opposed his insistence. Despite the intimidation of Victor, Polycrates strongly emphasized that the Passover should be celebrated.<\/p>\n<p>However, the Passover completely disappeared after the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. After around 1,600 years since then, we are now performing the movement to restore the Passover.<\/p>\n<p>As Polycrates risked his life to celebrate the Passover by saying &#8220;we ought to obey God rather than man,&#8221; we must follow the laws of God rather than the rules of men.
