Passover is the celebration of the Jews exodus from Egypt as told in the bible. For those of you that are unfamiliar with the story of passover, there was this guy named Moses who was set afloat in a river, adopted and raised by the King, encountered a burning bush in the desert, brought upon the house of Egypt great plagues, freed an entire people from slavery, parted seas, wandered the desert, received the word of god upon two tablets atop Mount Sinai and then lead the Jewish people into Israel. So, as you can see, albeit many thousands of years later, there is still reason to celebrate this great period. Fortunately, we celebrate not by suffering like our ancestors did, but by eating good food and drinking lots of wine.
