Passover is the 8-day observance commemorating the freedom and exodus of the Israelites from Egypt during the reign of the Pharaoh Ramses II...
Begins this year at sundown April 8th...
The first 2 nights of the 8-day holiday are celebrated with lavish meals called Seders...in which the stories and history of Passover are celebrated. Special foods, plates, silverware are all a part of the Seder ...foods containing matzoh are eaten. This is to commemorate the Israelites who fled quickly into the desert with no time for their breads to rise and were forced to bake the dough into hard crackers in the desert sun...

Pesach, meaning "passing over" or "protection" in Hebrew, is derived from the instructions given to Moses. In order to encourage the Pharaoh to free the Israelites, the first-born of both man and beast were to be killed. To protect themselves, the Israelites were told to mark their dwellings with lamb's blood so they could be identified and their homes would be "passed over"...and more for Easter
