PAssoyER. This HebraE festival will
open on the eve of the 11th of April
and will close on the eve OF the 10Th.
It was instituted by Moses in comnemo
ration Of the Israelites remaining unin-
jured on the night of the smiting of the
first born in, Egypt, when the angels
passed over the houses Of the Isrnelites,
which were designated BY the blood OF
the Paschal Lamb. This was immedi
ately preceding their deliverance from
the tyranny of Pharaoh. the Egyptian
King. The Passover is celebrated by
tho total abstinence from all leayen, and
by the eating Of unleavened bread for
eight days. This bread is similar to the
bread that was used by tho Hebrews
after they had crossed the Red Sea.
When they received the intelligence that
they were to leave Egypt. they carried
with them the dough that; had been
kneaded for bread, not having had time
to bske it. when they had crossed the
sea, they patted this dough with their
hands and dried it ii the sun. The 'first
and last days of tho PASSOVER are; held
strictly holy and inviolate, and on the
evenings of the first two days various
domestic! rites are observed which are
commemorative of this great Hebrew
event. ~ ."t#
