The most unique of all Jewish holidays will
begin this evening. and continue for period of
eight days.
Pesach is the Hebrew NAME and Passover is
the English translation. Nissan Is is the Jewish
date of Tuesday, April 6, which is really the
first day of this holiday, but according to Jewish
law. all holidays begin at sunset the day before
Passover is the Jewish Fourth of July the
first festival of liberty, the commemoration of
the original declaration of independence ante
dating the American declaration by thousands
of years. The Jews slaves in Egypt when
they helped to build the pyramids, and make
bricks without straw, and in the midst of their
greatest prosecutions by their taskmasters of
Egypt, arose Moses, the prototype of Washing
ton, and struck blow for liberty which con-
verified a nation of bondmen into nation of free
men, and laid the foundation for what was then
the most powerful nation on earth. The old
testament relates the story of the events which
led up to the liberation of Israel 1t tells of the
death OF all the first-born males among the
Egyptians of the swift trip of the angel of
death, with his cleaning sword, killing all of
the first-born among the Egyptians, and pass
UNCOVER the homes Inhabited by the Israelites,
which gave the holiday the name of Passover
Then followed the hasty departure out of the
land OF Egypt and the crossing of the Red Sea-
One of the interesting features of the OBJ
servance OF this holiday, is that day of fasting
precedes the Passover holiday. The first-born
boy OF every family only is compelled to fast
on that day, because the angel of death during
those stirring times In the land of Egypt spared
the first born among the Israeltes, and took
from earth the first born among their oppressors.
