Passover


Last Monday (17th March) we decided to hold a Passover meal for Family Home Evening. We used the script and info from http://www.bookofmormondiscovery.com/History%20and%20Customs%20of%20Passover.pdf
We invited Grandma to join us. We all learned loads and thoroughly enjoyed it. The photo shows everyone removing drops of red grape juice - one drop for each of the 10 plagues. I was impressed with the girls who all ate a small piece of everything that they were asked to. Emily particularly is not keen on tasting new things, but the bitter herbs etc were reminders of the times when the hebrews were slaves, and after thinking about the bitterness of living in slavery, none of the girls minded trying a small bite of everything! They all asked if we would do it again next year - so I guess it can't have been to bad!
