A COMMEMORATIVE FESTIVAL.
The Jewish Passover and What Some Of
Its Forms Signify.

At sundown last evening the Jewish
Passover began. The usual services were
held In the various synagogues.
Later I'm the evening I'm the homes OF the ortho-
dox the Haggdddi, a series Of prayers and de-
scription OF the departure from Egypt, was read.
This ceremony IL very elaborate and is divided
into two parts, between which supper Is eaten
IL is intended az blessing for the DldtzOth or un-
leayened bread. Tho lamb bone and bitter herbs
also figure prominently In this service, the
former being Indicative OF the paschal lamb
door-pOsts of the Israelites that the angel OF
death might "pass over" their households. The
bitter herbs are intended as reminder OF tho
Jewish race when in the bondage OF the
Egyptians. -,u
The festival lasts for seven days, during
which the stricter Israelito eats nothing pre-
pared out Of the house. Instead OF living the en-
tire week on passover bread, as is mistaklngly
supposed, the week il really one OF great feast
ing, many dellcacies l,eing partaken Of that are
common to this season only.
