Holy Week – Seder Supper

March 29, 2013 By Deanna Piercy Leave a Comment

This is Holy Week and last night our church hosted the traditional seder dinner before the Maundy Thursday communion service. I oversaw one of these dinners many years ago so I know first hand how much work goes into the preparation. It’s such a meaningful tradition, though, so I’m really happy that our church observes it. 
Here is a photo I took of the symbols used in the meal – matzoh, Maror (bitter herb – horseradish), Karpas (vegetable – parsley), Zeroa (shank bone), roasted egg, Charoset (apples, walnuts, cinnamon, wine), salt water, and wine.

We each had a copy of the Haggadah from which to read and follow along:

It’s a beautiful tradition and I’m grateful to attend a church which values such things. Following the meal, which included a delicious lamb stew, we had our Maundy Thursday worship service. Another friend took this picture looking up at the church from the fellowship hall. Isn’t it gorgeous?
