Here are the graphics I have so far. I still hope to find a graphic of the first Passover, the horseradish, and a pitcher/bowl/towel for the "washing" steps. We have the E-mail and the Guestbook buttons, plus the logo, background, bars, and buttons. ENJOY!












The ingredients for the seder plate are as follows:
Lamb: Represents the lamb offering, whose blood was spread with hyssop on the door posts and lentils, and whose flesh was eaten. The orthodox Jews do not have a Temple any longer and choose to use a lamb bone representing the sacrifice. Our family has lamb, prepared kosher, and remembers the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world...Yeshua Messiah!

Parsley, dipped in salt water: Represents the lowly origin of the children of Israel--slavery, and for the Christian it represents the lowly origin of our life before salvation..."all of our righteousness is as filthy rags"; "there is none that doeth good, no, not one".

Matzah, the unleavened bread: Represents the rush the Hebrew children were in preparing to depart Egypt. As Christians we are told by Christ that the bread is representative of His body, broken for us. And again, the matzah is also striped, bruised, and pierced.

Horseradish, the bitter herbs: Represents the bitterness of slavery, and the bitterness of sin. This is eaten with the Charoset.

Charoset, fruit, nut, cinnamon, & grape juice mixture (see recipe below!): Represents the mortar of the buildings the Hebrew slaves were forced to make. It is a sweet mixture, and it makes me think of the sweetness of forgiveness and victorious life in Christ!

Egg: Represents new life...freedom from the bondage of slavery, and freedom from the bondage of sin and death!




Recipe for Charoset

This fruit, nut, cinnamon, and grape juice mixture is eaten during the seder. It is meant to remind us of the mortar used by the Jews to build during the period of slavery. It should have a coarse texture.

4 medium apples, 2 tart and 2 sweet (preferably, 2 granny smith, 2 red delicious *_*)
1/2 cup finely chopped unsalted, raw almonds
1/2 cup grape juice
1 T. cinnamon Shred the apples. Add all other ingredients. Allow to sit for 3-6 hours, until the juice is absorbed by the other ingredients. Serve on matzah. Goes very well with horseradish.
