what is the sacrifice of passover?
In Exodus, 12:1–28 each Israelite family is commanded to sacrifice a lamb so that the final plague (the death of the firstborn) will pass over their houses, and the final verses cited above ask that this become an annual ritual in commemoration of the first Passover. So, for as long as the Temple in Jerusalem was in operation, Jews made Passover sacrifices, with each family bringing a lamb and then taking home a good part of the meat to eat at dinner after the sacrifice. This meal, where the sacrifice was eaten "with matzah (unleavened bread) and bitter herbs" is the origin of today's Passover Seder. Note that the Passover sacrifice was not a sin sacrifice. If anything, it was a thanksgiving sacrifice, made to thank God for the the salvation of the Israelites from Egyptian bondage.
