History & Traditions

Celebrating Passover

Passover is a Jewish Holiday celebrating the Ancient Israelite escape from slavery in Egypt. As told in the book of Exodus, the escape came after the infliction of the ten plagues on the Egyptians. The Jews were protected from the tenth and most sever plague, death of the first born, by marking their doors so the Lord "passed over" their homes without inflicting any harm. Hence the name, Passover.
