Introduction:
The Passover -
The deliverance of the Israelites from the worst of the plagues of Egypt, and the annual festival kept afterward in memory of the event.

The major Jewish spring festival which commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from Egyptian slavery, lasting seven or eight days from the 15th day of Nisan.
