Passover –  a Jewish religious is a religious holiday or festival noted by ceremonies each year, mostly by Jewish people.

It occurs the night of the paschal full moon after the 14th of Nisan, eve of the 15th, telling the story of the exodus, (when God used Moses to free the Israelites from slavery in Egypt, as told in the book of Exodus in the Bible) and remembering how the angel of death “passed over” the houses of the Israelites during the tenth plague on Egypt.

It is often celebrated with great pomp and ceremony, especially on the first night, when a special family meal called the seder is held. During the seder, foods of symbolic significance commemorating the Hebrews’ liberation are eaten, and prayers and traditional recitations are performed.

The dates this year are from 27th March to 4th April 2021.
