Don't be reluctant to observe Passover because it
seems like a fancy elaborate meal. Families with
many small children may enjoy a simple seder that
doesn't last quite as long as the traditional seder.
The main focus is to teach the children about both
Passovers the Exodus and Christ.
A seder can be this simple: Let the children
decorate by coloring and hanging pictures from
this book. Dinner can include the three elements
from scripture such as broiled lamb chops, bitter
herbs (horseradish or raw turnip greens), and
bread. Make a regular bread recipe without the
yeast (roll flat and pierced with a fork before
baking). You really don't even need to have lamb.
You may want to just place a shank bone
from your butcher on a seder plate, or put a small
stuffed lamb as a centerpiece, add some candles
and festive dishes for this special meal. During
dinner, read the Passover story from the Bible
or a storybook and asked the children to retell
their favorite parts. Explain how Christ is our
Passover Lamb. Play the Afikoman game explaining
how it relates to Christ's burial and resurrection.
