This April sees the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach. From Matzah to The Haggadah, Passover is a festival full of religious celebration and family tradition, commemorating the liberation of the Jewish people from slavery in Ancient Egypt.

Starting on the 15th day of the Hebrew month Nissan, this year Passover falls on April 14 and will continue for eight days.
