The word Passover was coined by Tyndale in 1530 from two words - pass over, translated from the Hebrew word pesah in reference to the Lord "passing over" the houses of the Israelites in Egypt when he killed the first-born of the Egyptians in Exodus 12.
Passover is a yearly feast of the Jews, which was celebrated in biblical times with the acrifice of the paschal lamb.
