The Samaritan Passover is a religious observance celebrated by the Samaritan community, which traces its roots back to ancient Israel. This event commemorates the biblical story of the Exodus, when the Israelites were freed from slavery in Egypt. The Samaritans perform their Passover rituals on Mount Gerizim, which they consider a sacred site, distinct from the Jewish tradition that celebrates Passover in Jerusalem. During the Samaritan Passover, participants sacrifice a lamb and partake in a communal meal, following ancient customs. The celebration typically occurs in the spring, aligning with the Jewish calendar, but the Samaritans maintain unique practices and interpretations of the event, reflecting their distinct identity within the broader context of Judaism.
