During what Jewish celebration did the Atonement take place? Bonus points for explaining its significance and relevance to Christ's actions.
Passover
Passover originates from the plagues in the bible and is celebrated for the liberation of Jewish slaves from Egypt. The tenth of the plagues would call for the death of every firstborn son, including that of livestock, when the angel of death passed over the homes of those living in Egypt. The exception was that if those who followed Christ were to sacrifice a lamb to God and rub the blood of that lamb over their doorways, the angel of death would pass over their homes without killing their firstborn son. This is where the name "Passover" comes from.
As the Lamb of God, Jesus was about to fulfill the meaning of Passover by giving his body to be broken and his blood to be shed in sacrifice, freeing us from sin and death.
