What is passover and how is it celebrated?

  • im 15 and i have a friend whos jewish (im catholic) but i just want to know what is passover and how do people celebrate it? i thought it was when people pass away and go to heaven ...show more

  • Answer:

    Why don't you ask your Jewish friend? See, he/she would surely be more than happy to explain it to you, and you can DISCUSS and ask/answer questions. I'm SURE, if you are interested, you might get invited to their seder, and experience it first-hand. It's soooooooooooo big, and difficult to explain! It has nothing to do with passing away. Jews don't believe in heaven, and once you're dead, you can't say your goodbyes. No. It's not how you celebrate Easter, because it has nothing to do with Easter...apart from the fact that Jesus was celebrating Passover when they came to arrest him. Basically, you can access the stories from the Old Testament: read from the story of Joseph and the Coat of Many Colors, through the traveling through the wilderness to arrive in the Promised Land (essentially, Jerusalem/Judea) The background is important to understand the whole story. The holiday commemorates being set free from slavery, and is full of symbolic foods and stories and prayers. A seder is usually filled with personal stories and traditions that go back only as far as the family, as well. It's just too rich a holiday to explain here. I repeat: ask your friend.

Passover is a jewish festival, celebrated to commemorate the angel of death passing over the jewish people in egypt. The angel of death was one of the seven plagues of egypt, the last one, it meant that the first born male child of every family in egypt would die. The jews were warned of this by God and told to slaughter a lamb, smear its blood on their door posts as a sign that they were following god's word. Then eat the lamb with unleavened bread (supposedly because there was not time for the yeast to rise in the bread) amongst other things. They were told to dress in travelers clothes and eat hastily. It is celebrated nowadays through a meal with family, lamb and other symbolic foods are eaten and special prayers are said. Jesus' last supper was on the same day as the festival, he and disciples were celebrating passover.
