THE HOLIDAY OF FREEDOM
Passover is the holiday of freedom, when we celebrate our
deliverance from slavery in Egypt. The story is told in
the second book of the Bible, Exodus, which means
"Going Out."
But that happened thousands of years ago--why are we
still celebrating it today? We celebrate because if
God had not freed our ancestors, we ourselves would
still be slaves today.
