Passover
or Pesach, is a high celebration in the Jewish Hebrew calendar. Passover is an
eight-day holiday, beginning with two days of no work, four days of limited
work and ending with two days of no work. The Passover celebration includes
several Seder meals, with roast lamb, bitter herbs and matzo bread. Passover,
or Pesach commemorates the passing over of the angel of death during the ten
plagues of Egypt. God punished the Egyptians for the enslavement of the
Hebrews. First born male infants were to die unless the blood of a lamb was put
on the lintels and door posts. Passover, or Pesach, is part of Christian
calendar as well; it was at the Passover meal that Jesus instituted the Holy
Eucharist or communion.
