Passover Explanation (really cool) :)
For those of you who don't know, Passover is a holiday where the Jewish people join together and remember the years in Egypt that Jews were treated very poorly by their Pharaoh. He was very mean, and the Jews were slaves of him. The Pharaoh had 2 sons. One of their names was Moses or Moyse or Moshe. He was actually born to Jewish slaves. But, Pharaoh made a rule that every first born baby of a Jewish family must be killed because Pharaoh didn't want there to be too many Jews. Moses'smart mother sent Moses down the river in a basket to save him. Pharaoh's daughter found Moses and brought him to Pharaoh. Moses and his sort-of-brother were raised as princes. Moses knew he was Jewish. People think that either his mother found him and told him or he saw it in hieroglyphics. Moses saw a slave-master beating a slave for doing something wrong. Moses couldn't stand it. He killed the slave-master. Then, his father and brother were very disappointed at him and were very disapproving. After that, Moses felt unsafe around these people, so he ran away. While he was out alone in the desert, god spoke to him from a burning bush. He told Moses to go tell the Pharaoh, "Let my people go." Moses told him he couldn't because he was slow of speech. (He burnt his mouth when younger...different story). God told Moses to do it anyway. Moses told Pharaoh that, but Pharaoh didn't listen. Then, god had 10 plagues sent over Egypt. God told Moses to tell the Jews to mark their doors with lamb's blood so the angels sending the plagues would pass over their houses. After the last plague, death of the first born boy, Pharaoh agreed to let the Jews go. They left, but Pharaoh changed his mind. He sent his army after them. The Jews had to stop at the red sea because they can't just cross a sea. But, god told Moses to raise his staff and put it into the ground. Moses did that, and the red sea split. The Jews crossed, and it closed up just in time for the Pharaoh and his army to get a cross. Pharaoh and his army ended up dying. We celebrate Passover to remember the times of hardship that the Jews had. We can't eat anything raised with yeast for 8 days. (It's really hard)! (but really fun)!
