Pesach

Pesach is the Hebrew name for Passover. In everyday speech, “Passover” or “Pesach” may refer broadly to the spring festival period that includes Passover and the Feast of Unleavened Bread (Matza).

More precisely, Passover itself is distinct from the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which begins the following day and is the pilgrimage feast. The Passover meal is eaten at the beginning of the festival period, while the Passover lambs were prepared and slaughtered during Passover afternoon.
