Passover

Last night our family celebrated Passover. We had read about Passover in the Bible as well as other books on the subject. We got a children's book from the library so we could do the Seder in a way that would be fun and educational for the boys. It was all that and then some. We had already been reading in Exodus leading up to the Passover so the boys were real interested and engaging during the Seder. We had horseradish for the bitter herbs and parsley to dip in salt water for the tears. We had the apple and honey mixture for the bricks and mortar. It was actually apples, grapes, pecans, honey and cinnamon. It was delicious. I could not find matzah bread at the grocery store and I did not have time to make any so unfortunately, we used crackers in it's place. I was really surprised when Isaac tasted all of the things on the table. After our meal the boys danced while listening to Jewish music. It was a very inspirational evening. I would encourage every Christian to participate in the Feasts of God throughout the year with your family. It is an awesome way to teach yourself and your children the many aspects and character of God.
