For the first two nights of Passover, Jewish families gather at the Seder where the reading of the Haggadah, the Book of Exodus, relates the story of the Hebrew exodus from Egypt. Throughout the Seder, special foods are eaten, a large feast is consumed and songs are sung.
This year, Passover begins at sundown on March 29, and Aristotle wishes all those who observe Passover a Happy and Healthy Holiday.
