A resounding yes (to the previous post). Passover is also relevant as it is symbolic of the way in which the blood of Jesus, the Lamb of God, shed for us, means we are forgiven of sin, and "passed over" by God's wrath and the death which all of our sins naturally earn for us.

Significance Of The Passover

Passover is still a major and significant holiday in the yearly Jewish calendar. Occuring in the Spring, Passover commemorates (primarily) the miraculous exodus from Egypt. It is marked by abtention from all leaven and leaven products, changes in prayer service and the ritualistic feast known as the Seder. It is an important part of Jewish practice currently -- it is relevant not only in that it helps us remember God's miracles of the past and create a link to our heritage, but it foreshadows God's taking us out of our current exile and restoring the Holy Temple in Jerusalem.

It definitely is for the Jewish faith. And I believe that Christians should know the history behind the celebration as well. Jesus was the final passover lamb, but I believe to fully understand and appreciate God's history for His people, know the history of Israel and the passover in Egypt, as it led to so much more for the nation.

Passover is the remembrance of the time when the Jews where slaves in Egypt, and the last plague "passed over" their homes (because they were marked with the blood of a lamb). It is still celebrated today as a remembrance of God's delivery of his people from slavery and that convenient.

it remembers when the jews were passed over by the angel of death by putting the blood of a lamb on their door frame, while everyone who didn't do this was killed. its relevant to jews who still practice the custome, and it is relevant to christians because it foreshadowed Jesus the passover meal is a lot like the lord's supper with the eating of the lamb/Jesus and our salvation through the lamb's/Jesus' blood

the bible states that the israelites were under a covenant with God in observing the passover.....because it was a deliverance of the sins for all the israelites, since they all sin before God, as we do today....but now this days....we don't go and kills lambs, cows, doves....to sacrifice for forgiveness....today, Jesus did that for all humankind to be able to receive the forgiveness from Jehovah God in heavens....and be in a good stand before God's eyes....the passover, is observed by Jehovah's Witnessess once a year.....as it was observed by the israelites....once a year....and that's what the bible commands....you are welcome to observe the passover, which is called the Memorial day, for Jesus death.....because he died for our sins.....get in touch with a Jehovah's Witness to find out more.
