The first church in Jerusalem and Mary (mother of Jesus) were -Messianic-

This should make sense.

Passover is ALWAYS in the SPRING.  After the barley harvest (Exodus 9:31).  Timing would then depend upon the calendar...... but will use MOON phase to determine day.

So Mary the mother of Jesus (Yeshua in Hebrew), would have known and participated in this event as well.  She more than likely participated in the -mikva- (baptism).  The scripture clearly says that she DID participate in the first church: "(Act 1:14)  These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren."  This location in Acts 1 is perhaps not in the same location as the "Pentecost" because of tradition of "Feast of Weeks" by the Jews(meeting at the temple mount/zion perhaps??).  Notice the changes in the words from one chapter to another.  The HOLY SPIRIT was (and still is felt) given to the first church.

Mary would have needed to be cared for by another "male" in the family of Jesus.  James more than likely was one of the men who took care of -Mary- after the death and resurrection of Jesus. (Mar_6:3  Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary, the brother of James, and Joses, and of Juda, and Simon? and are not his sisters here with us? And they were offended at him.).  The entire book of James speaks about the Church in Jerusalem.

The first messianic Jewish symbol:

(a clear evidence of the Messianic nature of this church) 

Jas 2:10  For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
