This year Passover was Nisan 14 (after sunset April 12, 2006) so it's too late to celebrate the Passover, or Lord's Evening Meal, unless you intend to prepare for next year or follow up on the next full moon.\n\nThe Apostle Paul “received from the Lord” instructions as to the Memorial commemoration of the Last Supper, corresponding to Passover. There are also accounts by three Gospel writers, one of whom was present when Jesus instituted this celebration. (1 Corinthians 11:23; Matthew 26:26-29; Mark 14:22-25; Luke 22:19, 20) These accounts say that Jesus first took a loaf, prayed, and then broke it and distributed it. What was that loaf? Correspondingly, what is used today? What does it mean or represent?\n\nOn hand were items from the Jewish Passover meal, one being unleavened bread, which Moses called “unfermented cakes, the bread of affliction.” (Deuteronomy 16:3; Exodus 12:8) This bread was made with wheat flour without using leaven, salt, or seasonings. Being unleavened (Hebrew, mats·tsah´), it was flat and brittle; it had to be broken to eatable size.—Mark 6:41; 8:6; Acts 27:35.\n\nJesus used unleavened bread in the Lord’s Evening Meal, so Jehovah’s Witnesses today do likewise. Regular Jewish matzoth serve this purpose if they are not made with added ingredients, such as malt, onions, or eggs. (Matzoth containing those supplements would hardly match the description “bread of affliction.”) Or the congregation elders may have someone make unleavened bread from a dough of wheat flour and water. If wheat flour is not available, unfermented bread can be made with flour from barley, rice, corn, or another grain. The dough is rolled thin and baked on a lightly oiled cooking sheet.\n\nSuch bread is appropriate because it does not contain leaven (yeast), which the Bible uses to represent corruption or sin. Paul counseled concerning an immoral man in a congregation: ‘A little leaven ferments the whole lump. Clear away the old leaven, that you may be free from ferment. Christ our passover has been sacrificed. Let us keep the festival, not with leaven of badness and wickedness, but with unfermented cakes of sincerity and truth.’ (1 Corinthians 5:6-8; compare Matthew 13:33; 16:6, 12.) Unleavened bread is a fitting symbol of Jesus’ human body, for he was “loyal, guileless, undefiled, separated from the sinners.” (Hebrews 7:26) Jesus was there present in his perfect human body when he said to the apostles: “Take and eat this [bread], it means my body.” (Matthew 26:26, A New Translation of the Bible, by James Moffatt) Partaking of the bread means that a person believes in the benefit of Jesus’ sacrifice in his behalf and accepts it. More, though, is involved.\n\nJesus used another symbol: “He also took a cup, and after thanking God he gave it to them saying, ‘Drink of it, all of you; this means my blood, the new covenant-blood, shed for many, to win the remission of their sins.’” (Matthew 26:27, 28, Moffatt) What was in that communal cup that he passed, and what does it mean for us as we strive to discern what we ourselves are?\n\nWhen Moses initially outlined the Passover feast, he mentioned no beverage. Many scholars believe that wine was introduced into the Passover much later, perhaps in the second century B.C.E. In any event, the use of wine in this meal was common in the first century, and Jesus did not object to it. He used the Passover wine when instituting the Memorial.\n\nSince the Jewish Passover occurred long after the grape harvest, Jesus would have been using, not unfermented juice, but red wine that could easily represent his blood. (Compare Revelation 14:20.) Christ’s blood did not need to be augmented, so plain wine is appropriate, rather than wines fortified with brandy (such as port, sherry, or muscatel) or having spices or herbs added (vermouth, Dubonnet, or many aperitifs). We need not, though, become worried over how a wine was processed, whether some sugar was

Find a local mosque.  St. Paul has a large population of refugees so you could check out some of the organizations.

Yes, I celebrate the eight traditional sabbats; or did while My Steve, my high priest, was alive.  Now I mostly note that they have come (he died just before Yule), and remember what we would have done in our rituals.\n\nI also celebrate the Christian holidays because my friends and neighbors include me in their celebrations, and I notice the Jewish holidays because Steve's mother and sister are Jews.  He was too, genetically, but he always said I liked Jews better than he did!\n\nPersonally, I say any excuse for a party!

Nothing.  I celebrate the holiday Ostara, the one the Christians ripped off from the Wiccans to make into Easter.

Is not passover also the first day of unleavened bread?\n\nI suggest getting some matza (sp) for the Seder.\n\nAlso thing of something that you would like to be lead out of, free of, and surrender that to God. He will help you work on that.\n\nThe other Jay pretty much covered the rest.\nJesus (Y'shua) is the reason for the passover.

I am not Jewish, but I would suggest you talk to your love. If he is religious, and you are willing to convert, and take the classes, it would be a loving indication of your commitment, so you can get married in the temple.

I go to church on Easter Sunday, at my church in Queens, NY.  Then, usually, I go to the Fifth Avenue Easter Parade in Manhattan, NYC.  Often I'm wearing an Easter bonnet I've made myself, and I hand out little tracts and treats.  Then I join my family for Easter dinner, which usually includes ham or lamb.  We might watch an appropriate Easter show on TV.\n\nOften I incorporate a little Passover in my Easter.  I might make up a kind of seder plate on Holy Thursday.  I've also attended a few Messianic Seders.  Last year I attended a model seder for middle-schoolers at a Reform synagogue; this year I've already attended a pre-Passover women's seder at the same synagogue.\n\nGood Friday, I used to go to a Catholic Church, sometimes St Patrick's Cathedral, in the afternoon.  Since my own church started having Good Friday services in the evening, I go there.

Hey :o) \n\nI was considering going to a party tonight at a local club, because a friends' band is playing and it would be nice to support them, but I dont know if i'll actually end up going.  \n\nI have to make a card for a friends' birthday, because she want's all home-made cards.  I dont have enough money right now to go on her birthday outing, but I figured I should at least make her a card! \n\nI have quite a bit of homework to do, specifically for Law and History.  I will hopefully get at least one piece done either today or tomorrow, and maybe do history between Church services on Sunday (when I generally feel inspired to attack even the most difficult of pieces of work!) \n\nOn Sunday I am going to Mormon church in the morning, and probably to my normal methodist church in the evening.  \n\nI hope you have a wonderful weekend, love and peace to all!

Happy Hannukah, Happy Chanukah, Happy Holidays, are all appropriate.  The first two refer to the 8-day Jewish celebration.\n\nMy best friend of 30 years, a teacher, is of the Jewish faith.  Receiving a gift with "Happy Hannukah" on it makes it more  special as the student took the time to remember his/her teacher is not Christian.  \n\nYour gift to your Jewish professor will coincide with the gifts you are planning to give to your Christian professors, as Chanukah in 2006 begins at sundown on December 15 with the first full day of this Jewish celebration on December 16.

i think you're stressing a little too much. regardless of what religion you're trying to adhere too, none of us are saints. all holy texts teach us that we're flawed. just accept it, and do your best to go through each day making the right decisions. they're not always the easiest ones, but they're usually the ones that pay off.

Gigs... it depends on your denomination and where you are at any given time.  I was in Karbala and the big unit there was the Mississippi National Guard.  They brought with them a Southern Baptist Chaplain and all of our services were Protestant and we had services and bible study a few times per week.  I went to another camp an it was run by the Polish, so their Chaplain was Catholic... that meant lots of Mass and not nearly as much for the Protestant.  Usually if there is not a Chaplain of your particular faith, there will be lay lead services and for some things... like High Holy Days for Jewish personell, they will be taken where a Rabbi is stationed.

I don't know if it just my diocese but we CAN eat meat this Friday since it is St. Patrick's day. In celebration of his feast day. I had never heard of such a thing but am happy.
