The Passover

The Passover is an annual religious festival when the Jews recall how God rescued their nation from slavery in Egypt. They remember particularly how the angel of death killed the first-born of all Egyptians, yet "passed over" all the Jewish families. God told them they would be protected by sprinkling lamb's blood on their doorposts. It was after this event that the Egyptians finally allowed the Jews to leave Egypt. An important part of the Passover festival was the killing and eating of the Passover lamb.

The verses on Passover in the Bible :-

Exodus 12 : 1 – 50
Leviticus 23 : 5
