The Passover is celebrated in Spring and goes for 8 days, it is split into two parts. The first two and last two days are holidays and no one works, drive or uses any electricity and instead they cook. The middle four days are dedicated to work and called chol hamoed (intermediate days). Before Passover they have to clean everything out of there homes that has come into contact with chametz (leavened grain), they eat Matzah instead. They do this because when the Israelites left Egypt they didn’t have enough time to let the bread rise and took it like that.
The seder is the main part of the Passover and you eat a lamb bone, a roasted egg, a green vegetable to dip in salt water, bitter herbs made from horseradish Charoset (a paste of chopped apples, walnuts and wine) and matzah (unleavened bread). Each of the foods represent a part of the Exodus story, the lamb represents the lamb that got sacrificed by the israelites, the egg represents the Jewish people and the hotter you make them the tougher they get. Bitter herbs represents slavery, matzah represents the bread the israelites took with them, charoset represents motah that slaves used to make bricks, the vegetables symbolises fresh spring and saltwater represents the tears and sweat of the enslavement. The whole family sits at the table and eats all the food, it has a 15 step process. Before they eat the food they read the Haggadah (how the Israelites fled from Egypt). Some is in English and some is in Hebrew, afterwards songs are sung.
