Ideas for Passover & The Days of Unleavened Bread

[Benjamin Müller]

This thread is open to anyone, regardless if they keep the Passover & Days of Unleavened Bread.

So Passover is coming up and my family and I have little things we do every year, but I'd like to do a little more; make things a little more memorable.

I've been asking people for different ideas. One person suggested chocolate gold coins to symbolize the plundering of Egypt, which I quite liked. Chocolate coins are used in Hanukah, I know, but who doesn't like chocolate? So I'm going to do it.

We have a little Red Sea Crossing scene that we set up yearly with little wooden peg people, a blue scarf, and a ceramic wave.

I wanted to expand my list. So what sort of ideas/traditions do others have for keeping the Passover/Days of Unleavened Bread. What sort of recipes do you favor? Do you decorate or set up scenes? Even if you don't, do you have any ideas on recipes, movies, documentaries, kids toys etc. I'd like to incorporate activities and recipes during the week since everyone will be home and we'll have time together to focus on God's festival.

I like those movies. Those brownies seem like a fun idea. Recipes? Well anything unleavened I guess! We make homemade matsa. I don't fool with Manischewitz crackers. Lol. Red ribbons around exterior doors are an old tradition.

I hope I am not going to far off topic. For health reasons I am not able to eat or drink anything that ferments internally which excludes bread and wine. What is a curiosity is that Jesus said dink my blood and eat my flesh. I don't have a problem with eat His flesh as a metaphor, but drinking blood even as a metaphor seems wrong, He may have been misquoted, He may have said drink the blood of the grape in memory of Me. What do you think?

Apart from he original Passover, what happened to the blood subsequent Passovers was it drank?

Matsa is unfermented bread so it should be safe for you to eat. Communion is an essential part of Passover. If grape juice is a problem for you, just drink a tiny amount. Typically in churches, communion is given with tiny cups and tiny pieces of leavened bread, and they have communion whenever they feel like it. I don't think this is what Yeshua meant. Communion is a Passover tradition.

The Passover communion should be with unleavened bread. The bread represents Yeshua. Obviously we do not literally drink His blood or eat His flesh. It is a metaphor. That is why some of his disciples left Him because they took it literal and they didn't understand. Drinking blood, including animal blood, is forbidden.

By partaking of the bread and wine(or juice), we accept Yeshua. He is the bread of life. Bread also represents instruction. Yeshua warned us of the leaven of the Pharisees. But unleavened bread represents no sin. Wine represents the Holy Spirit. In the parable of wineskins, new wine cannot be put in old wineskins or they burst. We are the wineskins. We must be made new in Christ and then we can receive the Holy Spirit to guide us.

The bread and wine symbolize the body and blood of Yeshua. To take it literal is a misunderstanding.

I can't drink alcoholic beverages, but the amount of wine on Passover is so small, it never harms me, especially since our family holds the Passover meal the same night, so everyone has a full stomach.

In the Old Testament the whole congregation of Israel was to kill the lamb at twilight. After the first Passover the Levitical priesthood took charge of the sacrifices. The lambs were slain at the altar and their blood poured on the ground. [Leviticus 17:10-11]; [Deuteronomy 12:16]; [Leviticus 3:17]; [Leviticus 7:26-27]

During the time of the temple the lambs were slain inside the Temple Courtyard at the altar and basins collected the blood. Priests collected the blood in the basin and then removed it and poured it on the ground.

Jesus Christ--Yeshua the Messiah was our Passover Lamb and so the whole congregation of Israel kills the lamb at twilight. It's a solemn ceremony; it's a reminder of his death [1 Corinthians 11:26]. And by the shedding of his blood, we have remission of sins.

As it was in the Old Testament when Israel marked their door posts and lintels with the blood and death passed over them, when we take part in the blood of Christ, through the symbolism of wine, we are marking our spiritual door-posts and lintels. And by doing so, death passes over us. The blood has made atonement for and covered our sins--for the wages of sin is death.

@Torah Keeper I can get you the unleavened brownie recipe, it might be a day though. I got to find it in our recipe book.

Here's some pictures. My sister did the frosting and gummy-bear-horse placements. Lol. The gummy bear with the tooth pick is Moses. We make this on the final day of the Feast. If the Egyptian half isn't eaten by sunset then they get the blue frosting spread over them first. Ha ha.
