Year 8 - RE - Jewish Life of Jesus: Passover

Passover is one of the most important religious festivals in the Jewish calendar. Jews celebrate the Feast of Passover (Pesach in Hebrew) to commemorate the liberation of the Children of Israel who were led out of Egypt by Moses.

.....It is from the 10th plague where the English name of the holiday is derived......

Passover is the Jewish holiday of freedom, commemorating the Israelites' exodus from slavery in Egypt. Each spring, Jewish people from around the world recount Passover's watershed story of redemption at a festive meal called the Seder.

On Passover, we celebrate how God took the Jewish People (Israelites) out of Egypt, where they had been enslaved by Pharaoh. With Moses as His representative, God brought 10 plagues upon the Egyptians until they agreed to send the Jews from their land.
