Detailed explanation-1: -Passover commemorates the Biblical story of Exodus-where God freed the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. The celebration of Passover is prescribed in the book of Exodus in the Old Testament (in Judaism, the first five books of Moses are called the Torah).
Detailed explanation-2: -Passover is one of the most sacred holidays for Jews living in Israel and elsewhere. They celebrate the seven-day festival by enjoying the first and last days as legal holidays and many take the week off to travel around the country.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Passover God told Moses to order the Israelite families to sacrifice a lamb and smear the blood on the door of their houses. In this way, the angel would know to ‘pass over’ the houses of the Israelites. This is why the festival commemorating the escape from Egypt is known as Passover.
