The Meaning of Easter: The Jewish Pesach
We all know that Easter celebrates the Resurrection of Christ, but did you know that the word Easter comes from the Hebrew Pesach, meaning Passover This refers to the 400 years of slavery that the Jewish people endured in Egypt. According to the Bible, God sent ten plagues to free them, the last being the death of the firstborn Egyptians,including Pharaoh’s son.
To protect themselves, the Jewish people were instructed to mark their doors with red, allowing God’s wrath to pass over their homes and only strike the Egyptians.
Following this event, Moses led the Jewish people out of Egypt toward the Promised Land. Pesach thus symbolizes liberation from slavery.
