It’s a busy and spiritual time, with two religious holidays taking place this week and going into this weekend.
The Jewish holiday of Passover is being observed from sundown Wednesday, April 5 through Thursday, April 13, celebrating the end of slavery of the Jewish people and the exodus of their ancestors from Egypt.
Meanwhile, Christians are celebrating Easter on Sunday, April 9, marking the end of the Lenten season and commemorating Jesus’s resurrection three days following his crucifixion.
Across D.C. a number of D.C. restaurants and businesses are hosting brunches, dinners, and themed events to celebrate both holidays.
