Passover celebration, gratitude and thanksgiving, covenants with God

Abstract

This is the time of year when we turn our hearts more fervently to gratitude, contemplating the acts of service, sacrifice, and heroism that have made our lives free and prosperous. Thanksgiving has been a predominant theme of festivals, feast days, holidays, and holy days for centuries.

Perhaps the longest-lived celebration of gratitude and thanksgiving is Passover. What’s the origin of Passover and what’s its connection to modern day Thanksgiving and our covenants with God?
