When the Feast of Passover was originally given for the children of Israel awaiting release from bondage in Egypt, the story is found in Exodus. Here the 'angel of death' passes over the Israelite houses which had an unblemished lamb's blood of their door lintel.
In the New Testament Gospels, it shows the culminating event of this 'picture' of God's Holy Day Plan - the first being the Passover. Here Jesus is our Passover as the unblemished (without sin) Lamb of God who willingly suffered and dies for all mankind.
It's not a prayer. In the Haggadah, which is used for the seder, there is the story of the Exodus which we read.

They High Holy Days are Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. They and Passover are Jewish holidays, originating in the Torah (Leviticus ch.23), on which no work is to be done (ibid). Other than that, their details are different. See also:http://judaism.answers.com/jewish-holidays/the-jewish-holidays
The book is called a 'haggadah'.
A: The Christian gospels say that it was the custom to release one prisoner at the time of the Passover, but scholars can find no evidence that this was ever a practice in Judea. The Christian story tells of Pontius Pilate offering to release one prisoner, and the Jews chose to release Barabas and sacrifice Jesus. This story is probably based on the Jewish tradition of releasing one sheep at Yom Kippur and sacrificing another sheep.
Haggadah
The main one is Pesach (Passover). We commemorate the Exodus from Egypt of the Jews, under the leadership of Moses. Pesach is every year; we eat only unleavened bread (matzoh) because the Jews back then left Egypt in such a rush that they could not wait for the bread to rise. We have a special book, a Haggadah, often with beautiful pictures and illustrations, that tells the story of the Exodus, and we have a special dinner for two nights, often with family and friends. Pesach is a very important festival, as it commemorates a key event in Jewish history. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Last Supper was held on the occasion of the Jewish Passover feast, which in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) was the evening before the crucifixion of Jesus. The synoptic gospels all contain the story of the Last Supper. John's Gospel prefers the crucifixion to be on the day of preparation for the Passover feast, so John omits the Last Supper account, replacing it by Jesus washing the feet of the disciples.
The book of Esther tells the story. The Persian king Ahasuerus marries Esther.
