PASSOVER. Wednesday evening. at g
o'clock, commenced the Passover, or
Feast Of Unlenvened Bread It's name
is from pasah, Hebrew word signifying
to leap over or pass by. It is Hebrew
festival. instituted by Moses, in COM
memoration of the Israelites remaining
unharmed on the night of the destruc-
ton of the first born OF Egypt, immedi-
ately preceding the exodus from that
country. (Ex. 1iii.) Originally it was
observed by sacrificing passover lambs
toward the evening of the fourteenth Of
the first Hebrew spring month, (now
Nisan.) and eating them on the following
night, ms we'll as by excluding all leaven
| from the meals of that evening and the
following sovon days. the first and lust OF

final destruction of the temple OF
Jorasa!cm, the Passover has been
celebrated by eating unleavened bread
during the seven (out OF Palestine
during eight days, by abstinence
from labor on the first aud last,
tout OF Palestine the first two md last
two, and by the observance on tho FIRST
evening Of various domestic rites, COM
memorative Of the deliverance from
Egyptian bondage, including the recital
of scriptural and legendary narratives,
familiar conversations on the same na.
tional event and the chanting Of Psalms.
During the eight days Of the feast they
were only permitted to eat unleaven
bread, "because their hasty departure
from Egypt obliged them to take only
dough with them before it was leayencd;"
henco tho Passover is alsn called the
'Feast Of Unleayencd Bread" In this
connection, we return our thanks to
Messrs. D. G. Peixotto and D. Goodman
for supply Of Passover bread"
