Introduction to a Christian Seder

Note: As post # 4 corrected me, Passover (Pesach) starts at twilight on the 14th of Nisan/Abib and ends at sunset, which is then the 15th. That starts chag hamatzot - the Feast of Unleavened bread. THAT is what runs to sundown April 11 or 21st Nisan/Abib.

Will celebrate next sat evening.
How about you?

You are correct, sorry for my error. Would you give me the link for your haggadah?

No joy lost, I should have caught that myself. I was just looking at the calender and saw all those days highlighted and it just went right over my head that only one day is Passover (duh to me). I know several fellowships, if their not able to do the Passover meal on "the" night do it on one of the other nights of that week. I don't know if that's considered kosher or not, I just know of several that do.

When was the Jewish calender changed? Wasn't Nisan originally the first month of the Jewish calender?

Information from Introduction to the Jewish Calendar

There are actually four Jewish New Years. By the time the Mishna was compiled (200 AD), the Jewish sages had identified four separate new-year dates for every lunar-solar year (the modern Jewish calendar was ratified by Hillel the Elder in the 3rd century AD)

1. Nisan 1 (i.e., Rosh Chodashim) marks the start of the month of the Exodus from Egypt and the beginning of Jewish national history. As such, it represents the start of the Biblical year for counting the festivals (Exod. 12:2). Note that the month of Nisan is also called Aviv since it marks the official start of spring.
2. Elul 1 marks the start of the year from the point of view of tithing cattle for Temple sacrifices. Since the Second Temple was destroyed in 70 AD, the ribbis decreed that this date should mark the time of Selichot, or preparation for repentance before Rosh Hashanah. Elul 1 marks the start of the last month of summer.
3. Tishri 1 was originally associated with the agricultural "Feast of Ingathering" at the "end of the year" (Exod. 23:16, 34:22), though after the destruction of the Second Temple, the sages decided it would mark the start of the civil year in the fall. Tishri 1 was therefore called Rosh Hashanah ("the head of the year") which begins a ten-day "trial" of humanity climaxing on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur).
4. Shevat 15 (i.e., Tu B'Shevat) originally marked the date for calculating the tithes of the harvest (ma'aserot) that farmers would pledge to the priests of Israel. This was the start of the year from the point of view of tithing of fruit trees. Today Tu B'Shevat represents a national Arbor Day in Israel, with the tree planting ceremonies in Israel. Unlike the other three "new years," Tu B'Shevat begins in the middle of the month, during a full moon in winter.

i'm happy because Pesach and Good Friday, hence the Day of Firstfruits and Resurrection Sunday co-incide this year.

For once I will not feel like a leper in my usual congregation.

Exodus 12 New American Standard Bible (NASB) The Passover Lamb

12 Now the Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of [a]Egypt, 2 “(A)This month shall be the beginning of months for you; it is to be the first month of the year to you. 3 Speak to all the congregation of Israel, saying, ‘On the tenth of this month they are each one to take a [b]lamb for themselves, according to their fathers’ households, a [c]lamb for [d]each household. 4 Now if the household is too small for a [e]lamb, then he and his neighbor nearest to his house are to take one according to the [f]number of persons in them; according to [g]what each man should eat, you are to [h]divide the lamb. 5 Your [i]lamb shall be (B)an unblemished male a year old; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. 6 [j]You shall keep it until the (C)fourteenth day of the same month, then the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel is to kill it [k](D)at twilight. 7 (E)Moreover, they shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and on the lintel [l]of the houses in which they eat it. 8 They shall eat the flesh (F)that same night, (G)roasted with fire, and they shall eat it with (H)unleavened bread [m](I)and bitter herbs. 9 Do not eat any of it raw or boiled at all with water, but rather (J)roasted with fire, both its head and its legs along with (K)its entrails. 10 (L)And you shall not leave any of it over until morning, but whatever is left of it until morning, you shall burn with fire. 11 Now you shall eat it in this manner: with your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it in haste—it is (M)the Lord’s Passover. 12 For (N)I will go through the land of Egypt on that night, and will strike down all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and (O)against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments—(P)I am the Lord. 13 (Q)The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you [n]live; and when I see the blood I will pass over you, and no plague will befall you [o]to destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.
Feast of Unleavened Bread

14 ‘Now (R)this day will be (S)a memorial to you, and you shall celebrate it as a feast to the Lord; throughout your generations you are to celebrate it as [p](T)a permanent ordinance. 15 (U)Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, but on the first day you shall [q]remove leaven from your houses; for whoever eats anything leavened from the first day until the seventh day, (V)that [r]person shall be cut off from Israel. 16 (W)On the first day you shall have a holy assembly, and another holy assembly on the seventh day; no work at all shall be done on them, except what must be eaten [s]by every person, that alone may be [t]prepared by you. 17 You shall also observe (X)the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this (Y)very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt; therefore you shall observe this day throughout your generations as (Z)a [u]permanent ordinance. 18 (AA)In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread, until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. 19 (AB)Seven days there shall be no leaven found in your houses; for whoever eats what is leavened, that [v](AC)person shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is an alien or a native of the land. 20 You shall not eat anything leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.’”

Passover in the New Covenant Scriptures

YESHUA, THE PASSOVER LAMB

 

[SpiritPsalmist]

Passover in the New Covenant Scriptures

It's all about YESHUA, THE COMPLETE AND FINAL PASSOVER LAMB....in remembrance of Him and what He did for us.

 

[SpiritPsalmist]

Relationship between Passover and Yeshua's Crucifixion

 

[Always in His Presence]

Passover is one of the most beautiful types of the atonement. We've always shown Passover as the promise and Easter as the completions of that promise.

A love picture only God could draw.

YEs its all about the lord Jesus

Any opportunity to worshipfully call to remembrance the Good things the Lord has done for us is a great opportunity to grasp a hold of .
And there is none so poignant and joyful at the same time as the picture displayed for us in the Passover Lamb ..
as John the baptist said -"behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world .

Sorry. I keep forgetting to look at which forum a thread comes from. Isn't it a sad thing divisions amongst believers run so deep that every word typed or spoken must endure such harsh scrutiny.....and with the world watching.

Too true So many false accusations abound about things that have so obviously not been thoroughly checked out by sources other than their fave witch hunters.

Thanks for your input Grafted In
