On March 27, Jews in Bulgaria and around the world celebrate the holiday of Passover. The festival is dedicated to the flight of the Jews from Egypt and the worship of God through redemption. The celebration symbolically repeats moments from the last night before the exodus of the Jews from slavery in Egypt. 

The gathering around the festive table is called Passover Seder. On this day, Jews celebrate freedom, respect for traditions, the connection between generations, respect for parents, and the past of the Jewish people.
