It’s a busy and spiritual time, with two religious holidays taking place this month. The Jewish holiday of Passover is being observed from sundown Saturday, April 12 through Sunday, April 20, 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 20, marking the end of the Lenten season and commemorating Jesus’s resurrection three days following his crucifixion.
Across D.C., several restaurants and businesses are hosting brunches, dinners, and themed events to celebrate both holidays. Whether you’re looking to sit down to eat with family and friends, or hoping to indulge in treats and participate in a fun, themed event, D.C. has some great options for observing the holidays:
