Learning about Passover

Leading up to Easter, our Camp Grace kids learned about Passover and had the opportunity to participate in a Seder Meal together! Kids and their leaders were guided through the different elements of the meal and discussed what each part means. They also learned what the elements represented to Jews in Jesus’ time, and how they also hold significance for us as believers in Christ. As they eat the Karpas (parsley) dipped in salt water, they learn how the greens symbolize new life and the salt water symbolizes the tears of Israelites in their enslavement. The children also sample Matzah, Maror (horseradish), Charoset (applesauce), and grape juice. Just as the Jews celebrated the passover lamb’s atonement for their sins, so we also rejoice in the redemptive power of Jesus’ death, burial, and resurrection.
