Passover is a Jewish holiday usually in April.
We eat different things to symbolize different things,
the matzo and parsley in salt water, a cinnamon, nut and apple mix to represent
the mortar used in the brick wall the Jews
built to protect themselves from Pharaoh, the evil ruler they were being controlled by,
horseradish to symbolize the harsh treatment by him, and a hard-boiled egg,
which represents a continuous New Year. There is also a bone on the plate,
which represents the sacrificial lamb. We hold a prayer dinner called a seder,
which explains these things among other traditions,
Jews don't eat leavened bread for the week long holiday of Passover.
Leaven, which is what makes the bread rise, is replaced with "Matzo",
which is a flat, cracker like food, for the week long duration of the holiday.
Removing the leaven from one's house is compared on a spiritual level,
to removing puffed up forms of pride from one's hearts
Thanks for your interest my friends!!
Passover
Holiday of new
New Nation
New buds coming out - flowers and leaves
The world mirrors it's newness in trees
I, too, can be new
Get rid of the leaven
That puffs up my soul
Jewish nation has a new role
Humanity takes a new turn
Leave slavery behind
Let each man go free
New faith, love and liberty
Don't be stuck in a rut
Renew, change and grow
Each person can soar to the sky
Freedom awaits--all that's left is to try
Eight days we eat Matzo
Remove our shackles each year
Passover, holiday of newness in spring
Joy of freedom--each year--hear the ring!
