Summary: Passover is a seven-day Jewish festival celebrated to commemorate the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt under the leadership of Moses. According to the Hebrew Bible, God helped the children of Israel to freedom by inflicting ten plagues upon the Egyptians (Old Testament: Exodus).

The festival begins on the 15th day of Nisan, the first month of the Jewish calendar. The celebration typically falls sometime in March or April of the Gregorian calendar. The book of Yeshua mentions Passover several times, which helps establish a chronology of events surrounding Yeshua’s ministry and crucifixion.
