Why is the festival that Jews celebrate called passover?
There are two reasons, one didactic and one a pun: First, on the first Passover, the book of Exodus says that God "passed over" the houses of the Israelites that were daubed with the blood of the first Passover sacrifice, entering all other houses and killing the firstborn -- this was the final of the ten plagues that God brought upon Pharoh and the Egyptians for not letting the Israelites go.The second reason, the pun, is that, entirely by coincidence, the name Passover is very similar to Pesach, the Hebrew name of the festival. In other European languages, this pun doesn't work, so Passover are known by names that are simply transliterations (sometimes ugly, sometimes accurate) of Pesach. To add to the confusion, in some languages, Passover and Easter are known by the same name.
