PASSOVER IN CAYMAN - THE FESTIVAL OF FREEDOM
The eight-day festival of Passover, celebrated in early spring, commemorates the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. Pesach is observed by avoiding leavened foods and is highlighted by the Seder meals, which include four cups of wine, eating matzah and bitter herbs, and retelling the story of the Exodus.
