A long
time ago, when the Temple was still standing, Jews everywhere would gather
in Jerusalem for Pesach and bring a lamb as a sacrifice for the holiday.
This lamb was called the Korban Pesach, and the meat from the lamb was
roasted and eaten during the seder. The Korban Pesach reminds us of the
lamb the Jews slaughtered in Egypt right before they left. They took the
blood of the lamb and painted their doorposts with it. Then, when God
passed over Egypt during the plague of the firstborn, he saw the houses
with the blood on the doorpost and spared the firstborn children living
there.
