Example of the New Testament synecdoche of "Passover" as including all of the days of "Unleavened Bread" and "eating the Passover" as eating other sacrificial foods besides the Passover lamb.
'''Synecdoche''' is a specific form of [[metonymy]] in which a part of something is used to refer to the whole. Examples would include "hired hands" or "the Crown Heads of Europe," "I left my heart in Texas," etc., as the "hands," "heads," and "heart" do not refer to severed body parts, but whole people.
