Passover


We continued our Holy Week remembrance with the celebration of a Passover Seder.

This Jewish meal tells the story of how God freed Israel from the Egyptians in accordance with the commandment to “Remember this day and celebrate it each year as a festival in my honor.”

The last meal that Jesus ate with his disciples was a Passover Seder. It was a great time of love and sharing and teaching before he has to leave them.

Our Seder was seeped in the Jewish traditions of a new friend who brought her family recipes and traditions and was wrapped in the warmth, love and intimacy the Jesus shared with the disciples and commanded us to share with each other.
