The Feast of the Unleavened Bread is a religious observance and feast celebrated primarily in Judaism. It is also known as Passover or Pesach in Hebrew. This annual festival typically lasts for seven days, starting on the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, which usually falls in March or April.
The Feast of the Unleavened Bread commemorates the biblical story of the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt as described in the Book of Exodus. According to the narrative, the Israelites fled from Egypt so rapidly that they did not have time for their bread dough to rise, thus their bread was unleavened. As a result, the consumption of any leavened bread or products containing leavened ingredients is strictly forbidden during this period. Instead, special unleavened bread, known as matzah, is consumed.
The feast also involves certain rituals and customs such as the Seder meal, which is a ceremonial dinner held on the first and sometimes second night of Passover. During this meal, specific foods are eaten, symbolic stories are recited, and songs are sung to recount the Exodus story and to teach its lessons. The removal of leavened products from homes, known as "spring cleaning," is another common practice during this time.
Although originating from Jewish tradition, the Feast of the Unleavened Bread has also been incorporated and adapted into various Christian denominations and celebrated as Easter or a part of Easter celebrations.
