Passover begins April 12 -20❣️
Foreshadowing of Jesus' Sacrifice
The Passover, commemorating the Israelites' liberation from slavery in Egypt, is seen by many Christians as a type or foreshadowing of Jesus's sacrifice for humanity's salvation. Jesus as the "Lamb of God": The Passover lamb, whose blood was smeared on doorposts to protect the Israelites, is seen as a prefiguration of Jesus, who is called the "Lamb of God" in the New Testament, whose blood atoned for the sins of the world.
