HEBREW FEAST OF THE PASSOVER
This feast. celebrated in commemoration
OF the exodus of the Israelites from
Egypt, does not, as usually. coincide
this year with Easter. It occurs on the
14th day of the first Hebrew month
Nissan. falling this year upon the 23d
Of April, and is celebrated the entire fol-
lowing week, the Hebrew community
abstaining during that time from salted
bread, and using instead the "Nfazort"
or Passover bread. in Remembrance of
their ancestors. who, in the hurry of
their leaving Egypt, had not sufficient
time to prepare their bread, and thus
taking their dough with them, left it to
dry in the scorching sun. Passover, as
all Hebrew festivals, has two.fold sig
nifcance, and is also celebrated as q
feast of the resurrection of nature from
its long winter sleep, and the blessings
of God upon mankind for the ensuing
spring and summer season are invoked.
This is the Hebrew lean year. which
