Passover is one of the most widely observed holidays and one of the most sacred to the Jewish people. It is a time of songs, family, and celebration. During this time, the Jews commemorate the bondage of the Israelites to Egypt.

This is where the holiday’s name- Pesach- meaning “passing over” or protection in Hebrew is derived. From the instructions given to Moses by Jehovah, in order to encourage the pharaoh to free the Israelites, Jehovah Himself came and slew the first-born in Egypt, passing over the homes of the Israelites, who were told to mark their dwellings with lamb’s blood so that Jehovah could identify and “pass over” their homes. The pharaoh finally agreed to free the Israelites. They left their homes so quickly that there wasn’t even time to bake their breads. Therefore, they packed the raw dough to take with them on their journey. As they fled through the desert, they would quickly bake the dough in the hot sun into hard crackers called matzohs.

Give us this day our daily bread is from the Bible. It is from Matthew 6:11. The prayer is asking God to provide people with the simple things they need for day to day living. Life in the late 1500's was very hard and people wanted for food.

The 1920s was a hard and painstaking era in American history. Many family's throughout New York lived in absolute poverty and saved week to week just to make enough to eat and pay the rent. Many Immigrants flooded the streets desperate for work while living conditions were harsh and many starved. This is just the case of the novel Bread Givers, written by Anzia Yezierska.

Visualizing freedom had gotten them what they want that when the day came they did not know how to react.

This happens when they are put on the train after their march in the snow to Gleiwitz. After the Nazis threw out all of the dead or dying Jews (Wiesel 99), a German soldier threw a piece of bread into the wagon; Jews then fought to the death for that single piece of bread. The Nazis found this entertaining, so they kept throwing in bread. In the midst of the brawls, out came a crawling old man, seemingly escaping from the fight. It is revealed that he had two pieces of bread under his shirt.

La dia de los Muertos dates back to as early as the maya and aztec days, nearly 3,000 years ago. “The Aztecs didn’t fear death. They believed the way a person died determines their type of afterlife.” (Sarah Massey) Families place alters in their homes with favorite foods of the deceased people, sugar skulls with their name on it, special possessions of the loved ones, and Pan de Muerto (bread of the dead). On the altar are four special elements, water, wind, fire, and earth. Candles represent fire, food represents the earth. Halloween dates back to the celt days, about 2,000 years ago. They lived in what now is known as Ireland, Scotland, and Wales. They gathered on October 31st to celebrate the end of the harvest season. The celts believed that spirits roamed the earth on this night. Celts out food out for the spirits, this was the first form of trick or treating. Some dressed up as the dead to scare away the spirits. They carved turnips and put candles in them to make lanterns. This tradition continued when the immigrants came to America, but pumpkins were easier to find so they carved pumpkins. They swapped scary stories and had a big feast. Roman Catholics began to celebrate All Hallows’ day on November 1st, October 31st became All Hallows’ Eve, later shortened to
