    Using a visual display of traditional Passover accouterments, the “Christ in the Passover” presentation enhances the Christian’s understanding and appreciation of the Jewish background of the Christian Communion. Ancient and modern Jewish customs are discussed and described with an emphasis on the aspect of redemption which Christ accomplished at Calvary.
    A table is set with the traditional Jewish Passover items, including representative foods which are explained, but not eaten. The ceremonial Seder plate, the three-compartment pouch in which the matzo (unleavened bread) is kept, as well as the traditional cup of Elijah are presented, and new insights to their Christological significance are provided.
    Those attending the “Christ in the Passover” program at Sunrise Bible Fellowship on March 1 will also have an opportunity to examine some of the aforementioned literature and materials. The program is open to the general public and Aaron Abramson will be available to answer questions those attending might have.
