The correct answer is letter C

The celebration day of Easter is the main day of the Christian liturgical calendar, since it is on this day that the Resurrection of Christ is celebrated, being from it that all other important dates of Christianity are calculated (Holy Week, Lent, Wednesday Ashes etc.). The Christian liturgy, however, derives from elements of the Jewish tradition. To really understand what Easter is, it is necessary to know what Passover was to the Jews.

The Hebrew term Pesach means "the crossing" or "passage" and traditionally designates the moment when the Hebrew people, guided by Moses, left slavery in Egypt and crossed the Red Sea towards the Promised Land. The basis of the Passover ritual can be found in chapter 12 of the book of Exodus. The event of the liberation of the Hebrews from the Egyptian yoke occurred in the time of spring, so that, since then, every spring a lamb was sacrificed as an offering to the God who had delivered them.
