Killing and/or eating lamb during passover is actually not done by Ashkenazi Jewish custom. Many Sephardim do eat lamb during Passover with some Ashkenazi Jews starting to eat lamb too.

Due to the religious laws surrounding kosher slaughter, not anyone can slaughter an animal for consumption. Specially trained people called a Shochet are the only ones allowed to do kosher slaughter.

What happened during the first Passover?

Read the Book of Exodus in the Bible. The first Passover was the night of the tenth plague. After Pharaoh refused to let the people of Israel go even after nine plagues, Moses informed Pharaoh that God would kill all Egyptian firstborns. The people of Israel were told to kill a lamb and put its blood on their doorpost. God "passed over" the houses with blood on the doorposts when killing firstborns. That night Pharaoh finally allowed (actually commanded) the people of Israel to leave Egypt. This freedom from slavery in order to serve God is celebrated by Jews every year, and has also been an inspiration for other people.


Why does Jewish people eat fresh food at passover?

While today, many Jews don't eat lamb on Passover, the idea came from the original Passover event in Egypt. The Jews were told to slaughter a lamb and leave the blood on the door post as a sign to the Angel of Death not to kill their firstborns (as the plague would hit the Egyptians). Roasted lamb also has significance because it is one of the sacrifices that was used in the Temple, before it was destroyed. The sacrifice was delivered on Passover, as well as other holidays. Lamb was an offering of thanks that was eaten by the family that made the offering during Passover. Many Ashkenazi Jews won't eat lamb because we don't have the Temple at this time. Most Sephardim don't have any restrictions on eating lamb during Passover.

Does Passover celebrate the Jew's victory over the Romans or their freedom from slavery?

Passover, in the Bible, actually comes from the time that the Jews were still in slavery in Egypt and God sent the angel of death through to kill all of the first born sons of every house in Egypt that didn't have the blood of a pure lamb painted on their doorways. This was one of the steps that ended up bringing the Jews out of slavery in Egypt. So to really answer your question, neither.
