Passover – Jewish Feast of Freedom

Passover is celebrated at about the same time as Easter and lasts for 7 or 8 days. During

Passover Jews around the world remember their freedom from slavery in Egypt.

The word Passover comes from the tenth plague. The firstborn son of every Egyptian family was killed. God told the Jews to mark their door posts with the blood of a roasted lamb to

show him that they were His children. In this way the firstborn sons of the Jews survived.

Today, many Jews gather in synagogues every year to retell the Passover story. The most

important food of this holiday is “matzo”, which is bread made of flour and water. It is flat

because Moses and his followers didn’t have time to let the bread rise. Many families sing

songs and say prayers during the holidays.

Talk about a similar tradition done in your country, if any.
