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.
