Detailed explanation-1: -Why is Passover celebrated? 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).
