Blood on the doorposts and lintels.
The Angel of Death passed over those houses.
Maybe it was pictures from Sunday School lessons.
Maybe it was something I saw in a movie.
I always pictured in my mind the people painting the blood onto their door-frames. You know, smearing it on in a rather tidy, complete way.
But Exodus 12 says the people were to dip the hyssop in the blood of the lamb and "strike [or touch] the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood." The lintel. The two doorposts. That makes three applications of blood.
What happens in baptism?
I baptize you in the name of the Father

and of the Son

and of the Holy Ghost.
