Passover commences tonight at sundown. May I wish a blessed Holy Day to all of the Jewish faith.
L'Chayim! (To Life).
Briefly, the holiday's name Pesach meaning passing over or protection in Hebrew, is taken from the direction given, by God, to Moses. To free the Israelites from Egypt, God planned to kill the first born of both man and beast. To protect themselves, the Israelites were instructed to mark their homes with lamb's blood so that God would pass over them. (Exodus 12:23).
Obviously, this also has great significance to Christians. Washed in the blood of the lamb, death will pass over us. He is risen!
