Good Friday and Passover don’t always coincide–but this year, they do.
As Christians around the world mark Good Friday and Easter weekend, Jews begin the celebration of Passover at sundown Friday evening. Passover commemorates the Exodus of the Jewish people from captivity in Egypt to the promised land of Canaan.
