Here's little background about Passover. Passover celebrates freedom of the Jews from the Egyptians. The story of the Pass over is found in the book of Exodus. It is about the pharaoh of Egypt and Moses.
During the celebration they sing and read songs from the Haggadah.
To prepare for Passover we do not eat bread and foods like it (chametz or leaven) for eight days. It includes bread, pasta, cookies, cake and rice. Before Passover we search for chametz and got rid of it, sometimes burning it. We had to clean the kitchen and get rid of everything that touched chametz, we even used new pots and pans. These were special pots and pans used for Passover.
We eat lots of Matzah (like a cracker) in the week of Passover.
The first night, Friday night, we had the seder. A special plate called the seder plate was used and they put 6 different foods on the plate as seen in the pictures below.
The kids get the week off of school so Monday we went to the zoo. We saw different African animals.
Tuesday and Wednesday we just stayed and home and played.
