The first three biblical feasts of the spring are Passover, Unleavened Bread and First Fruits. They all occur in the same week, but Passover occurs first, on the 14th of the Hebrew month of Nisan. Growing up, all I knew about Passover was that my Jewish friends got to miss a day of school. If anyone felt passed over, it was my nine-year-old self in Social Studies class staring at three empty seats and wondering what holiday I could convince my parents we needed to observe. Deep thoughts.
