Our family celebrated our first Passover tonight with a Seder meal. It was very interesting and very fun. There is a lot of ritual in it, which I’m not used to, but cool to think that I am celebrating a holiday the same way Jesus did. It was also interesting looking at the history of the Passover and the connection between the sacrificed lamb in the OT and Jesus, the Lamb of God.
One thing I really liked is that the whole purpose of the holiday is to teach our children about how God takes care of us. And even though Ari cannot fully understand the symbolism yet she knows that it’s a special day to think about God. Before going to bed she asked me to tell Beamer (our cat) that today was a special day, that today was the Passover day.
Even the preparation was fun. First of all learning about the holiday together with my wife was very special. And also planning the meal and getting everything ready together was nice.
Oh, and now I can sing a song in Hebrew! Awesome!
