I hope this email finds you in good health and high spirits. As Easter approaches on
April 9, I wanted to take a moment to share with you the significance of Passover. This
Jewish holiday holds deep meaning for both Jews and Christians alike.
Passover, or Pesach in Hebrew, is when Jewish families come together to
commemorate the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in ancient Egypt. This eight–
day festival begins on the evening of the 15th day of the Hebrew month of Nisan, which
falls after sundown on Wednesday, April 5 this year.
Christians can appreciate the story of Passover, as it is deeply connected to their faith.
The Last Supper, which Jesus shared with his disciples, is widely believed to have been
a Passover Seder. By understanding the customs and traditions of Passover, you can
deepen your understanding of the historical context and spiritual significance of Jesus’
actions during the Last Supper.
Here are some critical aspects of the Passover celebration that can enrich your faith:
1. The Seder: The Seder is a ritual meal that retells the story of the Exodus through
symbolic foods, prayers, and songs. Each element of the Seder plate has a
specific meaning and helps participants remember the journey of the Israelites.
By partaking in a Seder, Christians can experience the same meal Jesus shared
with his disciples.
2. The Unleavened Bread (Matzah): During Passover, Jews abstain from leavened
bread and eat matzah, a flat, unleavened bread. The unleavened bread is a
reminder of the haste in which the Israelites left Egypt without time for their
bread to rise. For Christians, the unleavened bread, I am told, symbolizes Jesus’
body, broken in the Eucharist.
3. The Paschal Lamb: G-d instructed the Israelites to sacrifice a lamb and place its
blood on their doorposts to protect them from the final plague, the firstborn’s
death. This act of faith and obedience has deep symbolism in Christianity, as
Jesus is called the “Lamb of God,” sacrificed for others’ sins.
As we celebrate Passover or Easter, I hope we can embrace the rich history and
traditions of Passover to deepen our faith. I encourage you to learn more about
Passover and attend a Seder if possible. Doing so can foster a greater sense of unity
and understanding between our two faiths.
Wishing you a blessed Easter and a meaningful Passover season,
Andres “Blessed” Mejer
