THE JEWISH Passover festival started this week and observing Jews will be taking time to enjoy the celebrations.

But what does the event celebrate and what happens during the festival?

What is Passover?

Passover is a festival in spring that Jews celebrate to remember the Israelites being freed from slavery in Egypt.

It is celebrated with friends and family who eat ceremonial meals such as Seders and cook traditional foods.

There is also a focus on helping the needy, with many communal Seders being held in public halls or synagogues.

Some Jews opt to take holidays during Passover, and some Jewish businesses may close or have reduced service during the period.
