Somewhere I read that the Jewish celebration of passover included a second ritual three days later that may have inspired the Christian celebration of Good Friday and Easter Sunday. I believe it may have involved planting a seed or something to foreshadow the harvest festival of Pentecost?

I can't find this in wikipedia, and I may have remembered the details wrong. Anybody else heard of this?
