The Passover is what religious holiday?
Judaism. Pesach (Passover) is important to us since in it we relive the Exodus from Egypt and our birth as a nation, both of which were preparations for receiving the Torah from God.
The highlight of Passover is the Seder meal. This meal is of great importance in Judaism. It is a 3325-year old continuous tradition that began on the night of the Exodus from Egypt (see Exodus chapter 12), and is fully detailed in our ancient Oral Traditions (Talmud, chapter Arvei Pesachim).
The Seder meal is one of those occasions, like Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, that Jews all over the world, Orthodox and non-Orthodox alike, observe in common. During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.
During the Seder meal, other traditional foods are eaten in addition to the matzah: bitter herbs, parsley, wine and haroset (see below). Salt water, a roasted egg, and a bit of roasted meat are also on the table.
During all the days of Passover, matzah (unleavened bread) is eaten; while leavened foods such as bread, cake, cookies, cereal and pasta are forbidden. This is a command in commemoration of the Exodus, when the Israelites were in a hurry to leave Egypt and did not spend time waiting for their dough to leaven (to rise). Exodus ch.12. Certain prayers are added in the synagogue services, and the Torah is read each day of Passover.

Passover is the holiday where Jews remember the exodus from Egypt.
The story of the Jewish escape from Egypt can be found in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). During the first night (in Israel) and first 2 nights (outside of Israel) of Passover, a seder is held. The word 'seder' means order and in this case refers to the religious service held in the home for the holiday of Passover.
During the seder, the story of the exodus is recounted. The story tells us how HaShem sent the Egyptians 10 plagues to convince the Pharoah to release the Israelites from slavery. The plagues in order were:
No one plague holds more significance over the other.
The significance of the lamb offering in Egypt was that the Egyptians worshiped lambs. By offering a lamb to HaShem, the Israelites committed a physical act showing their rejection of the Egyptian false gods. What most people don't realise is that a part of this offering entailed eating the lamb and that the blood of the lamb was painted on the inside of the doors, not the outside.

Basically he was fed up, broken. The last straw and final plague being death resulting in his son dying.
