Passover, or Pesach, falls on the Hebrew calendar dates of Nissan 23-30 and is a week-long celebration.
In the Gregorian calendar, the dates vary from year-to-year.
Passover is an important Jewish holiday straight from the Torah and Bible. It commemorates the Hebrew people's liberation by God from Egyptian slavery and the formation of their nation (a collective of people, not a nation-state) under the leadership of Moses.
It is called Passover because the Angel of Death passed over the homes of Hebrew slaves marked with lamb's blood on this night. The firstborn of non-Hebrews were killed as a warning to Pharaoh in homes not marked. This final plague of ten convinced Pharaoh to free the Hebrews from slavery.
Christians also mark Passover as part of Passiontide, but it is a single day. However, Christians do not follow the rituals of Judaism in observing Passover.
