JEWISH PASSOVER.
ro-Morrow Is the Beginning of a Hebrew
Festival season.


Tomorrow, March 29, the 14th day OF
Abb or Nissan, is the Jewish Passover,
the first and greatest of the three an
nual feasts instituted by Moses, and
will be observed by the Jews of Butte.
The Passover Is the anniversary of the
exodus for Egypt, and Is properly cele-
brated for eight days during the period
of the full moon in the spring. In COM
memoration of the incidents connected
with the great event OF the liberation
of the people IL was Ordained that I'M
leavened bread only should be eaten
during this festive period, whence 1t
also bore the name ''chag hamazzoth"
feast of unleavened bread and fur
Their that a lamb one year old and free
from all blemish, roasted whole togeth-
er with bitter herbs should form the
meal in every house on the eve of the
feast. Prayers and thanksgivings, all
with a reference to the redemption from
bondage. accompanied the repast, at
which the members of the families who
had Joined in the purchase of the lamb
had to appear in travelling garb. At a
later period a certain number of cups
of red wine were added to this meal.
The name Passover" was more
strictly limited TO the first day. in
which the paschal lamb was entirely
consumed, the reserving of any part of
IL 10 the next DAY being expressly Tor
hidden; and the name feast of the I'M
leavened bread" belonged rather to the
remaining days on which other animal
food was eaten; but the names were
often used Unfortunately
The paschal meal, as at present cele-
brated among the Jews, has more the
character of a hallowed family feast,
with reference, however, to the great
national event. Probably the greater
part OF those who live out OF the Holy
Land celebrate IL on the first two even
ings. as owing to the uncertainty prev
alent at one time with respect to the
fixing of the new moon by the Sanhe-
drim at Jerusalem it was ordained that
the 'exiles" should celebrate all their
festivals, except the day Of atonement,
on two successive days-a law still in
force among the orthodox.
The regulations of the lamb for
each house." the travelling garb, etc,
are abrogated. but especially among
the Jews of Europe many further sym
bolic tokens have been added; remi-
ndscences as IL were both of the liberia
tion from Egypt and tn = subsequent
downfall of the sanctuary and empire.
The order of prayers and songs to be
recited on these evenings has also re-
ceived many additions and even me-
diaeval German songs have crept in, as
supposed to contain a symbolic refer
