Passover, also called Pesach, is a major Jewish holiday that occurs on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, the first month of Aviv or spring. It commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt and their exodus from Egypt.
During Passover, Jews remember how their ancestors left slavery behind them when they were led out of Egypt by Moses. Passover is celebrated with a series of rituals. Each ritual symbolizes a different part of the story.
For example, one of the most important rituals is the Seder meal. The Seder is a special meal that is held on the first two nights of Passover. During the Seder, Jews read from a book called the Haggadah. The Haggadah tells the story of Passover and explains the meaning behind each ritual.
