The fact that matzah is unleavened also represents His sinlessness. Christians believe that Jesus was our Passover Lamb, sacrificed for the sins of the world. Many say that the cup Jesus raised was actually the third of four cups of wine that were drunk during Passover meals. Passover is celebrated for eight days, though only the first and last days are full holidays. In Israel, the Seder meal takes place on the first eve only and elsewhere in the world, Jewish people celebrate two consecutive Seder nights.

The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it" Leviticus See also Exodus ; Numbers ; Deuteronomy , 8. The first month is Nisan which is determined by the first conjunction of the moon after the vernal equinox.
The sacred calendar is thus aligned with the seasons and the harvests of the crops necessary for the various feasts. Barley was the first crop to be reaped in the lands of the Bible and the first month was reconciled with the barley at the stage of it being "green in the ear", ready to be reaped for the offering of Firstfruits which occurred after the Sabbath in this festive week.
Traditionally, unleavened bread made from barley was eaten during this week. Passover then, is on the fourteenth day from the commencement of the new year and is eaten after twilight on that day, which is then the start of the fifteenth day and the first High Sabbath of the week of Unleavened Bread.
Just as with the weekly Sabbath, the day before any "High Sabbath" is a "preparation day. Seven days of special observance are kept in this festival period, the spiritual preparation of which starts at the New Year.
For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast. On the first day remove the yeast from your houses, for whoever eats anything with yeast in it from the first day through the seventh must be cut off from Israel. On the first day hold a sacred assembly, and another one on the seventh day. Do no work at all on these days, except to prepare food for everyone to eat--that is all you may do. All final purchases and business which could not be done previously, should be completed on this day.
Leaven is removed traditionally at the beginning of the 14th day i. The feast of Unleavened Bread celebrates the journey of the children of Israel through the wilderness, when following Passover and the Exodus, they ate unleavened bread for thirty days which then was substituted by the manna actual food which YaHuWaH Himself provided for them for the rest of their journey to the promised land of Israel. The fact that it was unleavened symbolized that they were not taking with them any of the contaminating influence of Egypt, which represented the culture of the world, only the pure bread of life.
So eating bread which was not leavened is a type of eating the pure Word of YaHuWaH Elohim, unadulterated by the philosophies and doctrines of man. All erroneous doctrine and wrong mind-sets have their origin in the philosophies of this world which is governed by the ruler of this world who first began to impregnate man's thinking in the garden of Eden. Leaven, used in this context, is that which has its origin in the deception of the enemy and is contrary to the truth of the Word which has its outworking in all unrighteousness which is sin 1 John Because of the Passover Lamb, which is celebrated first; instead of sinning by falling short of YaHuWaH's standard, we can now walk according to the truth of His Word.
Doing it for seven days seven is the number of spiritual perfection represents us individually and corporately coming to ultimate perfection and walking completely free of any shortcomings - i. The seventh day Sabbath when they were delivered from their enemies in the Red Sea crossing, represents our final deliverance from the enemy of our souls which was initiated when we went under the waters of immersion.
At that time we were translated out of his kingdom of darkness into the kingdom of light. Our complete deliverance from him will be when we have 'eaten' the Word to the fullness and come to the full knowledge of Messiah, who is the Word of YaHuWaH Elohim John ; Ephesians Each time we keep this appointment with YaHuWaH and celebrate the feast, it becomes a memorial - a reminder, to do an inventory and purge out the leaven from our lives in a rehearsal for the main event to come, and it is part of the process which He endorses, of attaining unto His image and likeness and deliverance from the god of this world.
In the new covenant the cleansing of leaven from our houses has a spiritual application. Not only do we go through the cleansing of our literal houses of actual leaven yeast products , but we also do a spiritual housecleaning. The principle always is that in going through the physical motions of purging leaven from our houses, the spiritual principle is impressed upon our minds in the doing of it, as YaHuWaH said, "It shall be a sign to you on your hand and as a memorial between your eyes, that YaHuWaH's law may be in your mouth; for with a strong hand YaHuWaH brought you out of Egypt.
Exodus What we do with our hands and see with our eyes stays with us, we keep it in mind.
