PASCHA

PASCHA – Greek for “Passover.” Originally Pascha designated the Jewish Passover; now, it is the Feast of the Resurrection of Christ. Christ is the Lamb of God whose sacrifice delivers the faithful from death, as the sacrifice of the Passover Lamb delivered the ancient Jews from slavery and death in Egypt ^{(Ex. 12; 13; 1 Cor. 5:7, 8).}
