Passover Sacrifice

The Passover Sacrifice refers to the biblical practice where a lamb was sacrificed to commemorate the Israelites’ escape from Egypt, as described in the Book of Exodus. The lamb was slaughtered and its blood was spread on doorframes, symbolizing protection from the final plague—the death of the firstborn. This event led to the Israelites’ liberation from slavery. The sacrifice and subsequent meal, including roasted lamb, are central to the Passover holiday, serving as a reminder of freedom, divine protection, and faithfulness in Jewish tradition.
