Last Easter Sunday we decided to do a passover dinner. We ate the bitter herbs, the parsley, and the charoset with matzo. We drank four cups of carbonated grape juice to commemorate:

1. sanctification and freedom
2. the deliverance
3. the redemption
4. thanksgiving and hope

We told the story of the passover and followed a script I found on the internet. The kids kept asking, "Why are we doing this?" After explaining several times that Jesus was a Jew and that he participated in the passover on the night of the last summer, I think (hope) they finally got it. There is so much symbolism for Christianity (although I know the Jews don't like it when we see the symbolism.)
