Overview
Leviticus is in the middle of the Torah and lists the rules that the Israelites had to follow in order to be close to God. Among the rules designed to make them different and holy are the seven festivals or feasts. Christians believe that all of these feasts foreshadowed the life of Jesus.
The feast of Passover & the feast of Unleavened Bread
The Passover is closely associated with the Feast of Unleavened Bread. It commemorates the Exodus from Egypt and is mentioned many times in the New Testament, especially in connection with Jesus's Last Supper.
Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
