Berean Strong's Lexicon pascha: Passover Original Word: πάσχα Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew פֶּסַח (pesach), meaning "Passover." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H6453 - פֶּסַח (pesach) Usage: The term "pascha" refers to the Jewish festival of Passover, which commemorates the Israelites' deliverance from slavery in Egypt. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both the festival itself and the Passover lamb that was sacrificed. The Passover is a significant event in the Jewish calendar and is also pivotal in Christian theology, symbolizing Christ as the sacrificial Lamb. Cultural and Historical Background: The Passover is one of the most important Jewish feasts, instituted by God in Exodus 12. It marks the night when the Lord passed over the houses of the Israelites in Egypt, sparing them from the plague of the firstborn. The festival involves the sacrifice of a lamb, the eating of unleavened bread, and the retelling of the Exodus story. In the New Testament, Jesus' Last Supper is understood to be a Passover meal, and His crucifixion is seen as the fulfillment of the Passover sacrifice, offering redemption from sin.
