In the book of 2 Chronicles, chapter 30, Hezekiah, king of Judah, invited everyone to celebrate Passover in Jerusalem, to celebrate all that the Lord had done for them.
At that time, Passover was a month after it usually was, but it was necessary to purify all of the priests and allow everyone to gather together for the grand celebration.
Runners went all across the land, welcoming everyone together. Hezekiah wanted all to not be like their ancestors who abandoned God. The celebration was to proclaim their love and worship God, who was gracious and merciful.
The celebration was one that had not been seen since the days of Solomon. It lasted many days. It was a joyous occasion.
