Passover Box

Passover, known as Pesach, commemorates the Israelites' liberation from Egyptian slavery, as recounted in the Book of Exodus. Central to Passover is the Seder meal, where the story of the Exodus is retold, and symbolic foods like matzah (unleavened bread) and bitter herbs are consumed. Passover points to Jesus as the Messiah through the symbolism of the sacrificial lamb; Jesus is seen as the "Lamb of God" who takes away the sins of the world, fulfilling the Passover sacrifice.

Families celebrate Passover by cleaning their homes of leaven, participating in the Seder, and reciting prayers and songs that recount the deliverance from Egypt. This feast reinforces themes of redemption, freedom, and God's covenant, ultimately pointing to Jesus' sacrifice and redemption for humanity.
