Although it is a Jewish festival, for Christians, Passover is of special interest since it provides the historical background for the great Christian festival of Easter. The Last Supper is linked with the Passover Seder, and such concepts as the Lamb of God and the wine and bread of Communion originated in the Passover ritual.
