Passover (Jewish holidays, religious holidays, ... Events (hierarchy name))

 

Note: A Jewish festival and holiday commemorating the first and most momentous event in Jewish history: the liberation of the Hebrews from bondage in Egypt and the "passing over" of God of the houses of the Isrealites during the tenth plague of Egypt (when the first-born children of the Egyptians were killed). Passover begins on the 15th and ends on the 21st or 22nd day of the month of Nisan (March or April). On these seven (or eight) days, also called the Festival of Unleavened Bread, all leaven is prohibited, and only unleavened bread (matzo) may be eaten. The matzo symbolizes the Hebrews' suffering while in slavery and the haste with which they left Egypt during the Exodus. After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, Passover celebrations became home-based. The first night of Passover is particularly celebratory, with a special family meal called the seder. Symbolic foods commemorating the Hebrews' liberation are eaten at the seder and prayers and traditional recitations are performed. Custom also calls for a place to be set for Elijah, the herald of the messiah. Though Passover is one of great rejoicing, strict dietary laws must be observed, and there are certain restrictions regarding work at the beginning and end of the festival.

Additional Notes:
Chinese (traditional) ..... 猶太教節慶與節日,紀念猶太史上第一個、也最重大的事件:希伯來人從埃及的禁錮下解放,同時並慶祝在埃及的第10災中(神殺死所有埃及人的長子),上帝「越過」以色列人家庭。逾越節開始於尼散月15日,直到21日或22日(西曆3月或4月)。這7天(或8天)亦稱為除酵節,禁止使用酵母,因此這段期間只能吃無酵母餅。無酵餅象徵著希伯來人在被奴役時所受的磨難,以及他們出走埃及的匆忙。在耶路撒冷的聖廟被毀之後,逾越節成為在自家慶賀的節日。逾越節的第一個晚上特別具慶祝意義,家人團聚享用節日餐(seder),吃著紀念希伯來解放的象徵性食物,也進行禱告與傳統的詩歌朗誦。依照習俗,亦需為先知以利亞(彌賽亞的傳令者)設一安置之處。儘管逾越節是個歡欣的節日,但仍需遵守嚴格的飲食戒律,對於在節慶開端與結束階段時工作亦有嚴格限制。 
Dutch ..... Joods feest ter herdenking van de eerste en belangrijkste gebeurtenis in de joodse geschiedenis: de bevrijding van de Hebreeërs uit de Egyptische slavernij en het voorbijgaan van God aan de huizen van de Israëlieten tijdens de tiende plaag in Egypte (toen de eerstgeboren kinderen van de Egyptenaren werden gedood). Pascha begint op de 15de en eindigt op de 21ste of 22ste dag van de maand nisan (in maart of april). Gedurende deze zeven of acht dagen, die ook wel het feest van het ongedesemde brood worden genoemd, is alle toevoeging van gist verboden en mogen alleen ongedesemde broden (matses) worden gegeten. De matse symboliseert het lijden van de Hebreeërs onder de slavernij en de haast waarmee zij aan de uittocht uit Egypte begonnen. Na de verwoesting van de tempel in Jeruzalem werd de viering van Pascha een huisfeest. De eerste avond van Pascha is bijzonder feestelijk met een speciale familiemaaltijd, de seider. Bij de seider wordt symbolisch voedsel gegeten ter herdenking van de bevrijding van de Hebreeërs en worden gebeden en recitaties uitgesproken. Ook is het de gewoonte een plaats vrij te houden voor Elia, de heraut van de Messias. Hoewel Pascha een vreugdevol feest is, dienen strenge spijsvoorschriften te worden nageleefd en gelden er zekere beperkingen ten aanzien van werk aan het begin en het einde van de feestperiode.
