The Jewish holiday of Passover for 2012 begins at sundown, April 7 and goes to sundown, April 13. Passover celebrates the re-telling of the story from the Old testament book of Exodus. Moses is God's instrument in freeing the Israelites from Egyptian captivity.
The name "Passover" comes from the tenth plague God brought on Egypt when Pharoah would not let the Jewish people out of bondage. Each Jewish family was to sacrifice a lamb and place the blood on their door posts so the plague brought upon the first-born would "pass over" their families and affect only the Egyptian first-born.
