The Last Days of Passover

Question

What occurs on the last 2 days of the Passover festival?

Answer

The last two days are observed as a standard Festival, with extended prayer services and 2 festive meals each day. Tradition tells us that the end of Passover is a commemoration of the splitting of the sea which occurred on that date.
