the.com/pesach
The holiday where you spend weeks removing bread, then eat matzah instead of bread anyway.
means The Jewish festival commemorating the Exodus from Egypt, marked by the Seder meal and the week-long avoidance of leavened food.
from From Hebrew 'Pesach,' meaning 'to pass over' or 'to skip' — recalling the Exodus story in which the plague of the firstborn passed over the homes of the Israelites. The English word 'Passover' is a direct translation of this root. 'Paschal,' used in Christian contexts for Easter, descends from the same Hebrew word via Greek and Latin.
