Passover (Hebrew: פֶּסַח Pesach) commemorates the story of the Exodus, in which the ancient Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. Passover begins on the 15th day of the month of Nisan in the Jewish calendar, which is in spring in the Northern Hemisphere, and is celebrated for seven or eight days. It is one of the most widely observed Jewish holidays.

*Passover, or Pesach, begins during the full moon in the first month of the year, namely on the 15th day of Nisan. Passover is called the “feast of freedom” since it celebrates the Exodus of the Israelites from bondage in Egypt and memorializes the night when the faithful were protected by the blood of the lamb – a clear picture of the sacrifice of Yeshua the Mashiach as Seh HaElohim – the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.
