Passover along with The Feast of Unleavened Bread is an 8-day holiday. Many say the name derives from the fact that during the final plague – the slaying of the first born – God “passed over" the homes of those who obeyed His instructions by placing the blood of a lamb on their door post. Another translation means "to have compassion for". The LORD had compassion and passed over those whose door post were covered in the blood of the lamb.
The holiday is marked by the celebration of a Seder on the first night. The Seder is designed to give each Jew the experience of "going from slavery unto freedom" as they did in Egypt. The Passover tells the Exodus story and recounts the Ten Plagues.

When God sent his Son to die on the cross it was no coincidence that the day He set us free from the grip of the devil and his slavery to sin, the day he took the sting out of death and placed on it Himself, was during the celebration of Passover.
