The Night Freedom Began

Before there was Easter, there was Exodus.

What It Actually Is

Passover commemorates the Israelites’ liberation from slavery in Egypt.

The central ritual meal (Seder) retells the story of oppression and freedom.

It is history remembered as identity.

📖 Where It Appears in Sacred Texts

📜 In the Torah:

Exodus 12–15 (especially chapter 12 for Passover instructions).

This is core Jewish scripture.

📖 In the Christian Bible:

Same Exodus text. Also referenced in the Gospels during the Last Supper.

📖 In the Qur’an:

Moses (Musa) and the Exodus appear extensively:

• Surah Al-Baqarah (2:49–50)

• Surah Al-A’raf (7:103–137)

The Qur’an recounts Pharaoh, oppression, and deliverance.

What People Get Wrong

Passover is not just “Old Testament stuff.”

It is the backbone of Jewish identity.

And no, acknowledging Jewish liberation history is not an attack on anyone else.

Shared Themes

Liberation. Divine justice. Deliverance from tyranny.

This story belongs to all three traditions.

Why It Matters Now

Oppression is not ancient history.

Passover reminds us freedom stories matter.
