Ceremonial Foods
These are the Ceremonial Foods are eaten during the Seder. This is where we get our Lord's Supper which is an abbreviated Seder Meal. The night before Jesus died on the cross he took the matzah, the wine, gave it to his disciples and said, "Do this in remembrance of me." This experience truly puts you into the story of God's overarching plan of redemption - from Passover to the Lords' Supper. Jesus's body broken for us, His blood shed for our salvation.
