Passover is a Jewish holiday which is celebrated in the northern spring. It begins on the 15th day of Nisan (on the Hebrew calendar), which in 2007 arrives at nightfall on April 2. Passover commemorates the Exodus and freedom of the Israelites from ancient Egypt. As described in the Book of Exodus, Passover marks the "birth" of the Children of Israel who become the Jewish nation, as the Jews' ancestors were freed from being slaves of Pharaoh and allowed to become followers of God instead.

Jesus was crucified during Passover. The Last Supper which He shared with his disciples, was the traditional Seder meal which starts off the Passover holiday.

Passover deals with the 7 deadly plagues that the LORD sent to Egypt.
The LORD instructed Moses to tell all Isrealites to put blood on the lintels and door jambs so that the Angel of Death would pass over thier house, when it took the first born of every house that didnt have it.
I wish you well...

The quick and simple version. It's A jewish celebration. In the bible the angel of death was going to kill all the male children in Egypt. God warned the Israelite slaves to smear lambs blood over their door and their children would be spared.
When the angel saw the blood, he would "pass over" their house.
