Would you elaborate.

It looks like Lurker is gone, but I thought I'd respond briefly to this.
Pesach is Passover in English. When the blood of the lamb marked the door of a household, the judgement of YHVH (Yahweh) "passed over" (skipped) that household (Exodus 12). Where the blood did not mark a household, the judgement of YHVH was executed. Passover (Pesach) is the feast celebrating this passing over of judgement.
What the church celebrates today is judgement passing over those marked by the blood of "The Lamb", that is, Christ.
I don't know why Lurker asked
me to elaborate, but I hope this is helpful. The real question is how does it apply to people today?
Peace,
