One of the great Jewish theologians of the early 20th century, Franz Rosenzweig, arranged the 3 great Jewish festivals in a triangle. He identified Passover with the creation of the Jewish people, Shavuot (the Feast of Weeks or Pentecost) with God's revelation to the Jewish people, and Succot (the fall Feast of Booths) with God's redemption of the Jewish people.Of course, each of the festivals has elements of creation, revelation and redemption built into it. Passover celebrates the exodus of the Jews from Egypt. Prior to the exodus, God was revealed only to a few individuals. With the miracles of the exodus, God was revealed to the whole people. And those miracles redeemed the people from slavery. Passover remembers all of this. The liturgy of the Passover seder re-enacts the exodus so that each Jew can feel that he (or she) was there and was personally redeemed.

(Leviticus 23) The "Passover" (a sacrifice, not a day) is sacrificed and eaten on the evening beginning Chag ha-Matsot.
