Passover (Heb. Pesach; transliteration of Egyptian P3sh, “he who strikes”; or Pashhu, a word that appears in the Amarna Letters and describes the results of the formation of a covenant; Gr. Páscha ). Festival instituted on the occasion of the exodus to commemorate the night in which all the firstborn of the Egyptians were killed and the Israelites left Egypt. Immediately before his departure from Egypt, God instructed Moses that “this month” (Abib, later called Nisan) was to be the 1st month of the year; that on the 10th day of the month each family or larger group had to separate a lamb, kill it on the 14th at sunset and eat it at night. Detailed instructions (Exo 12:1-28) were given for this ceremonial meal which was to be an annual feast. The lamb was to be slaughtered by each family, presumably in their home, and the blood was to be sprinkled on the lintel and doorposts as a sign that that home was protected when the angel of death passed through Egypt to destroy Egypt. all the firstborn of Egyptian households. The lamb had to be roasted whole, eaten that very night with bitter herbs and unleavened bread and hastily, all standing, dressed as if to travel, with their sticks in hand. That same night, the plague of death at midnight prompted Pharaoh to urgently “drive out” the Israelites before the morning of the 15th (Exo 12:12, 29-33; Num 33:3; Deu 16:1). The regulation of Passover and the following 7 days of the Feast of Unleavened Bread was repeated in the Levitical law of the feasts at Sinai (Lev 23:5-8). Provision was made to have a 2nd Passover in the 2nd month, for those who due to travel or ritual contamination had not been able to partake of it at the proper time (Num 9:10-13). Later, the Passover was only celebrated in the central sanctuary, and eventually in Jerusalem (Deu 16:2, 5, 6). Although only adult males were required to attend (Exo 23:14-17), families could go if they wished, as was the case with Joseph and Mary and the infant Jesus (Luk 2:41-43). In Christ’s time, the paschal lambs were sacrificed by the priests in the temple on the afternoon of the 14th, and their owners then took them home to roast them. By that time, the procedure was prescribed in detail, including the preliminary rite of searching the house for any leftover leaven, the kind and order of dishes to be served at that dinner, the number of cups of wine, the hymns, the recitation of the story of the exodus and the prayers. Participants no longer dressed for travel and ate sitting or reclining instead of standing; those signs of urgency were not appropriate since they were not foreigners and vagabonds, since they lived in their own land. Jesus is recorded as attending several Passovers (Joh 2:13; etc.), the last of which was the one in which he instituted the Lord’s Supper (Mat 26:18-30). The word “Passover” came to be used to refer to the entire period, from the 14th of the month to the 21st, including the slaying of the lamb, the Passover meal, and the entire Feast of Unleavened Bread that followed it; conversely, the expression “unleavened bread” was used for the entire period, including the 14th day (Luk 22:1, 7). In addition to being a reminder of the exodus, the Passover festival, centered around the lamb, pointed to Christ, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world” (John 1:29). Furthermore, the instructions given to Moses that no bones were to be broken in the Passover lamb (Exo 12:46; Num 9:12) was a prediction that none would be broken for Jesus (cf Joh 19:36; Psa 34). :twenty). Paul directly states that Christ is “our Passover…offended for us” (1Co 5:7). Bib.: Couroyer, RB 62 (1955):481-496; Mendenhall, BASOR 133 (1954):29.

It is the day on which most believers celebrate the resurrection of Jesus. There is no celebration of the resurrection in the NT. Christian Jews associated it with the Jewish Passover and celebrated it on the fourteenth day of Nisan regardless of the day of the week. But the Gentile believers celebrated the resurrection on Sunday. This difference was resolved by the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD. JC, which determined that Easter would be celebrated on the first Sunday after the first full moon of the vernal equinox. This is the system followed today. The date of Easter varies between March 22 and April 25.

(pass by, passover).

-Passover or the Feast of Unleavened Bread celebrates the departure of the Jews from Egypt, led by Moses, after 400 years of slavery. The Feast lasts a week, in the months of April or May, and the attendance of men is obligatory: (Lev 23:5-8).

– On Passover Day, from Ex.12, God ordered Moses that the Israelites sprinkle the door lintel with blood, because the angel of the Lord was going to pass by killing all the firstborn of each house, but he would not kill the firstborn where the door was sprinkled with blood. And so it happened, in Ex.12, that all the firstborn of Egypt were killed by the angel of the Lord, but no Israelite. Faced with this punishment, the tenth plague, Pharaoh let the Israelites out of Egypt.

– The Christian Easter celebrates the Resurrection of the Lord, liberation from sin, the devil and death. It is a Sunday, on dates similar to the Jewish one.

– The Passover Lamb was a type of Christ, Exo 12:5, 1Co 5:7, Joh 1:29, Joh 1:36. – Immolated by the people, Ac 2:23.

– Not a single bone was broken, Joh 19:36.

– Unleavened bread is a type of the Sacred Host, Exo 12:39, 1 Cor.S
7-8, 2Co 1:12, Jua 6:48-58, Mat 26:26 : – Christ observed the Jewish Passover, and in it he instituted the Eucharist, Mt.26.

19-29, Mar 14:12-25, Luk 22:7-20, Jn.13.

– The Easter candle, with four grains of incense, symbolizing the 4 wounds of Christ, is lit on Easter Day of Resurrection, symbolizing Christ, light of the world.

– The “Easter time” is the 50 days that follow Easter Sunday until Pentecost. Every Catholic has the obligation to receive the sacraments of Penance and Eucharist during this Easter season. It is a time of joy, the priest wears white, and the prayers end with the “hallelujah”, “praise the Lord”.

One of the main festivals of the Israelites. It was a spring festival that began on the 15th of the month of Nisan (Abib, the first month in the Hebrew year) and lasted one week. On the first and last day you couldn’t work. This festival commemorated Israel’s departure from Egypt. In Hebrew, the name is hag-ha-Pesah (“the Passover festival”). The word P., in Spanish, comes from the Greek pasca, which means “transit”. The etymology of the word in Hebrew is uncertain, but traditionally it is thought to be related to the fact that on the night the firstborn died in Egypt, it was said: “…the Lord will pass through that gate, and will not allow the destroyer to enter.” into your houses to smite† (Exo 12:23). P. is also called “the Feast of Unleavened Bread” (Exo 23:15; Lev 23:6; Deu 16:16). An important part of the event was the Passover lamb (or a cow, Deu 16:2), sometimes called “P.”, which was to be roasted and then eaten at a family meal (Exo 12:1-28; Deu 16: 1-8). If someone, for reasons of ceremonial impurity or living far away, could not eat the P. on the prescribed date, it was allowed to celebrate another one a month later (Num 9:1-14).

The Passover lamb had to be reserved four days before the feast. It was to be eaten as one who is in a hurry to go on a journey (“… with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste† ). The interpretation that the rabbis gave to these facts was that the P. (or the Passover lamb) was eaten because God passed by and did not touch the Israelites. That unleavened bread was used to symbolize Israel’s deliverance from Egypt (“And they baked unleavened cakes from the dough that they had brought out of Egypt, for it had not risen, because when the Egyptians drove them out, they had not had time to prepare food† ). And that the meal was accompanied with bitter herbs in remembrance that the Egyptians “made their lives bitter with harsh servitude” (Exo 1:14). Furthermore, on the day before the festival, it was the duty of the owners of the house to remove all the leaven that was there (“…and so on the first day you shall make sure that there is no leaven in your houses† ).
The first P. celebrated within the Promised Land was held at †¢Gilgal (Jos 5:10-11). Apparently the custom continued, but it was never celebrated with such pomp on a national level as in the days of King †¢Josiah (“No such p. had been done since the days when the judges ruled over Israel, nor in all times of the kings of Israel and of the kings of Judah† ). From the days of the second †¢temple, the P. became a very famous festival, which attracted crowds to Jerusalem, as witnessed by †¢Josephus.
the NT shows the celebration of the P. in different portions. The parents of the Lord Jesus used to go “every year to Jerusalem at the feast of p.” (Luke 2:41). Later, together with his disciples, the Lord did the same (Mat 26: 2). When the events of his imprisonment and crucifixion occurred, it was the festival days. he had ordered preparations to be made for the meal, which was the last with his…
