Note
A count of festivals rather than a name for one. The lowercase spelling turns Passover, a proper name, into a common noun that can take a number, with each passover a separate year's observance. Capitalized Passover remains the standard form for the festival itself. The span being counted varies: a single day in the biblical reckoning, or a seven-day Pesach in Reform practice and an eight-day one in Orthodox and Conservative practice.
