The Jews celebrate the feast of Passover every year. What exactly does Passover celebrate?

It celebrates the last plague when God passed through Egypt killing all the firstborn. God ”passed over” the Israelite’s houses. This resulted in the Israelite’s being freed from bondage by the Egyptians.

Hello

One of the big if not the biggest festival of the Jewish year was Passover. If possible all Jews came to Jerusalem to sacrifice and worship to the Lord. Jesus and his disciples as well came to Passover. This week we are going to take a look at this holiday as it appeared throughout the Old Testament.

Just a note while Easter and Passover often are close to each other they dates are set differently. Easter is the First Sunday following the Full Moon appearing on or after the Vernal Equinox. Passover is set according to the Hebrew Calendar for the 15th of Nisan The Hebrew calendar is also a Lunar calendar. Yes I Googled that so you don’t have to.
