kluger – the question is why is the name achron shel pessach only used for pessach?
You say EACH yom tov has a special name for the last day. You say it is like asking: “No other yom tov is called pesach so how come this one is?”
Well, pessach is exclusively called that because “possach al botei avoseinu” – Hashem passed over the houses…so there is a direct reason/connection with the Yom Tov.
Zos Chanukah is exclusively connected with “Zos Chanukas…” etc.
But what is the exclusive connection between last day of pessach with name of “Acharon shel pessach”?
