==Origin and Meaning of the Passover==

===Origin and Meaning===

The Passover originated from the history of the Israelites, who had been slaves in Egypt; they were protected from plagues and set free by keeping the Passover. The name of the Passover, which means “the feast that makes disasters pass over,” originated from this history. In Hebrew, the word ''Passover'' is ''Pesach (פֶּסַח)''. It is derived from the verb ''pasach (פָּסַח)'' meaning “to pass” or “to jump.” In Greek, it is called ''Pascha (πασχα)''. In both of these languages, which were used to write the Bible, the word ''Passover'' means that “(disasters) pass over.”
