Passover
Passover (Pesach) Jewish festival lasting eight days, commemorating the Exodus from Egypt and the redemption of the Israelites. Symbolic dishes are prepared, including bitter herbs (
maror) and unleavened bread (
matzot), to remind the Jews of the haste with which they fled Egypt and, by extension, of their heritage. It is a family celebration, at which the
Haggadah is read. Christ's ‘Last Supper’, at which he instituted the
Eucharist, was a Passover meal.
