By celebrating Passover, we honor our heritage and acknowledge the sacrifices made for our liberation, reinforcing the connection between our historical struggles and our faith journey today.Exodus 12:13 "And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you..."
