A simple Passover Meal anyone can do…

• The Passover was a celebration 2,000 years before Jesus about God’s salvation of the Jews and their deliverance from Egypt.

• Salvation came through the covering of blood.

• Sin was to be eliminated symbolically through no yeast

Have a Passover Meal

Simple Passover meal with the main elements. My purpose is to have a picture of what Jesus was doing that night, not exact accuracy of a traditional Passover meal.

Passover meal ingredients:

Roast to symbolize the lamb

Wine or juice to symbolize the cup and the blood

Matzah Bread to symbolize the unleavened bread- no sin- and Jesus’ broken body

Charoset to symbolize the mortar for the bricks the Israelites had to make in Egypt

Parsley to symbolize the hyssop Israel used to dip into the lamb’s blood. 

Bitter herb like horseradish, lettuce, or celery to symbolize the bitterness of slavery

Eggs to symbolize offerings made on the 2nd day of Passover. (We do hard-boiled eggs)

Washing of Feet

We show the idea of servant hood by washing feet. We just use wipes or washcloths and talk about why Jesus did this. The principle being that it was to show He came as a servant, to die. 

Charoset Recipe:

3 large apples 

½ cup of walnuts

¼ teaspoon of cinnamon

2 Tablespoons of wine or juice

Finely chop all ingredients and mix.
