Passover Seder Celebrated
April 20, 2011
On
Wednesday, April 20, St. Mark's continued the annual tradition of
celebrating the Passover Seder. Members and guests followed the Haggadah,
eating the foods and and following the required ritual. Participants
also enjoyed a meal of chicken, potatoes and string beans, with
strawberry shortcake for dessert. Of course, everyone got a piece
of lamb, too.
Although
it is a Jewish festival, for Christians, Passover is of special interest
since it provides the historical background for the great Christian
festival of Easter. The Last Supper is linked with the Passover Seder,
and such concepts as the Lamb of God and the wine and bread of Communion
originated in the Passover ritual.
The kids participated in the search for the matzah. Dawson Owen found the matzah hidden under a table cloth and won the prize.
As in previous years, the meal was served by the youth and other members. Church council members served the wine for the ceremony.
