Lamb can be kosher for Passover. However, Ashkenazi Jews traditionally do not eat lamb during Passover.
The Passover Lamb
A lamb.
Hebrew phrase written in English letters. It simply means "Passover". You may see it spoken by Jews in reference to the "Passover Lamb" or "Paschal Lamb".
The Torah (Exodus ch.12) specifies matzoh, bitter hers and the meat of the pesach-sacrifice. Other foods are not mentioned, but wine, vegetables and fruits were probably on the menu.
The lamb was killed in the temple, but not after christ died on the cross.
Yes, but it should be labeled as having had Rabbinical supervision for consumption during Passover.
As this relates to an actual sacrificial lamb, one was directed to take care in choosing a lamb 'without blemish or spot,' that must also be in good health. As this relates to Christ, our 'Passover,' He is sinless, and therefore 'without blemish or spot.'
The sacrament of Reconciliation.
The Passover Lamb for one was a picture of the Lamb of God who was to come and take away the sins of the world.
Observance of Passover, when the Temple in Jerusalem stood, required that every family slaughtered a lamb as an offering of thanks. The lamb then had to be roasted and eaten that night. Any of the lamb that wasn't eaten that night could not be eaten at a later time. Also, no different than today, unleavened bread (matzah) was a key part of the observance of Passover.
The shankbone of a lamb is a traditional element of the Seder ritual. It belongs on the table as a symbol of the Passover sacrifices that Jews have not made since the year 70, when the Roman army destroyed the Temple in Jerusalem.
