We asked her if she would help us prepare a Seder for our Relief Society. It was a wonderful experience and taught us the importance of these celebrations. When I look at the lack of respect for religious concepts, lack of reverence in our church building, and decrease in modesty among our RUMYKINhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09725066221815160041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442628.post-24856771300262092282010-04-05T13:48:29.226-06:002010-04-05T13:48:29.226-06:00Just to reiterate, I don't think partaking and...Just to reiterate, I don't think partaking and participating in a Passover Feast would be a bad thing, if it can help us learn and understand the past better it can't hurt, but to do it as a yearly celebration I'm afraid that perhaps it could overshadow the importance of Easter.Tigersuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375000801423259917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442628.post-18868198134725975032010-04-05T13:44:49.685-06:002010-04-05T13:44:49.685-06:00Although I think we need to make Easter a more spe...Although I think we need to make Easter a more special and defined day of worship and I have a great interest in The Passover as a tradition that is significant to our religious history I do not think it should become a holiday or tradition that we should celebrate on a yearly basis. I do think that understanding what The Passover is would be intergral to our understanding of the atonement we Tigersuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10375000801423259917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8442628.post-78054874411203592132010-04-05T04:45:59.899-06:002010-04-05T04:45:59.899-06:00We have celebrated the Seder as a family for years...We have celebrated the Seder as a family for years. We emphasize those parts that point toward Christ. <br /><br />Interestingly enough, I learned recently that my mother's name may have been Jewish.

It's strange how, given that Easter is arguably the most important day on the calendar, we really don't do much to celebrate it.
