“On the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to the Lord; seven days you must eat unleavened bread” (Lev. 23:6).

Just about the first thing you think of when you think of Passover or Pesach is matza, the unleavened, cracker-like bread eaten during the eight-day festival.
