Pesach

One of the most important holidays of the Jewish calendar, and one of the oldest continuously performed ceremonies in the world, Pesach, or Passover, commemorates the escape of the Jews from slavery in Egypt.

Pesach literally means "to pass through" or to "be passed over". It is both a serious occasion and a festive holiday for Jews as they retell the story of Exodus.

Passover is traditionally observed with a seder, a ceremonial meal during which participants read from the Hagaddah, a collection of texts, prayers, and commentaries, and eat symbolic foods.
