Suppers Ready

• For every time you eat this bread and drink this
  cup you are retelling the message of the Lords
  death, that he has died for you. Do this until he
  comes again.
• 1 Corinthians 1126

The Facts, Please!

• The name Passover reminded the Israelites of the
  night in Egypt when the Lord passed over their
  houses because they had put blood on their
  doorposts. In their slave masters houses, where
  there was no blood, the oldest son died. That
  night Pharaoh let the Israelites leave Egypt.
  They were free!

More Facts, Please!

• After that, God told the Israelites to celebrate
  Passover once a year in the spring at the time of
  the full moon. At this special supper, certain
  things were eaten

• A roasted lamb-This was a year-old male that was
  perfect, without any defects. It was taken to
  the temple, where it was killed. Its fat was
  burned, and its blood was offered on the altar.
  Then it was taken home and roasted.

Things to eat continued.

• Bitter Herbs- This was wild lettuce or something
  similar. It reminded the Israelites of the
  bitterness of slavery.
• A sauce-This was called charoseth. It was a
  paste of dried dates, raisins, and vinegar, and
  was about the color of a brick.
• Red wine-A drink made from the juices of grapes.

• Unleavened bread-This was bread that had no
  leaven in it. It was eaten at Passover and for
  the next week. Leaven is like yeast, which
  causes bread to rise. Un leavened bread is thin
  and hard. When the Israelites escaped from
  Egypt, the women didnt have time to bake raised
  bread, so they ate this instead.
