The word Passover was coined by Tyndale in 1530 from two words - 'pass' and '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. The Old Testament Passover was replaced by the New Testament Easter after Christ's death, burial, and resurrection.
