Following the prayers over at Domestic Church.com we had a beautiful Christian Passover Seder meal. We invited my Dad over and we all feasted on lamb.This meal really is a prayer. If you have a moment click on the link and read the prayers, they are beautiful (when on the site click on fridge art and then Lent and Easter. The Seder meal is included there). The participation of the family in the meal makes it so special.

lighting the candles
washing of hands
and on it went around the table washing every one's hands. (Catherine's expression here cracked me up. I think she was a little embarrassed. hee hee)
roasted leg of lamb
It was a very memorable evening. My favorite part was in the concluding prayers:
"The extra cup also reminds us to pray for our blood brothers, those Jews still seeking the Messiah Who has already come to them and Who waits longingly for them. The empty chair reminds us, and every household observing Passover tonight, that there are still those who cannot celebrate as free men. We pray that someday soon all may freely rejoice in the majesty of God everywhere in the world. Someone open the door to welcome the Prophet of God to our Seder! "(referring to the prophet Elijah)
and this part:
"Our Passover celebration is complete, just as God's plan for our salvation through Jesus is complete. Now it's up to us to go and live His Word. Let's end with the traditional wish that next year we will celebrate face to face with Jesus! "Lashanah haba'ah bi Yerushalayim!"
