Is there any relationship between Jewish and Christian customs?
Definitely. The "Lord's Supper" comes from
the Passover meal (the seder) and the practice of
baptism comes from immersion (t'vilah) in a special
pool of water (mikveh). The Jewish marriage ceremony
is also very similar to the marriage feast of the Lamb.

Lifecycle and Lifestyle" and "God's Appointed Times: A Practical
Guide for Understanding and Celebrating the Biblical Holidays."
