Passover: Passover celebrates the story of the Israelites’ redemption and escape from Egypt and 400 years of slavery. The story of the passover can read in the Torah and the Bible, and is associated with Moses and the 10 plagues.

Originally, Passover, which incorporated remnants of ancient spring harvest festivals, was celebrated through a pilgrimage to Jerusalem to take sacrifices to the temple.
