The Jewish Passover begins tonight at sundown and this year Passover falls very close to its place in Holy Week. Some years ago after reading the book Christ in the Passover by Moishe Rosen we decided that if at all possible we would include Passover in our Easter celebration. It has made our Resurrection celebration all the more meaningful and rich. Tonight we will join with others throughout the world lighting the festive candles at sundown that begin the ancient dinner of remembrance.
"This is a day you are to commemorate; for generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the LORD---a lasting ordinance." ~Exodus 12:14
"Then came the day of Unleavened Bread on which the Passover Lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, 'Go and make preparations for us to eat the Passover.'" ~ Luke 22:7-8
"...For Christ our Passover lamb has been sacrificed" ~1 Cor. 5:7
