Passover 2021: The meaning of foods eaten during the Jewish festival


This year, the Jewish festival of Passover, or Pesach, as it is known in Hebrew, starts on Saturday 27 March.

The observance commemorates Moses leading the Jewish people out of Egypt to the "promised land" of Canaan, following years of slavery.

Every year, Jewish families celebrate the first two nights of the festival by sitting around the Seder table and eating foods that symbolise the plight of their ancestors. Read full food and drink article here.
