Amy’s Free Ideas
 
You don’t have to have a Seder plate, or afikomen napkin in order to celebrate passover, but I think it is still fun to look at the pictures in the catalog or website, and dream about going all out and buying them someday.  The website photos are really tiny, even in the “see larger image” mode, so you may want to order a catalog.

Two Ways to Celebrate Passover
Imitate the Last Supper as closely as possible
Follow the current practices of Jewish passover
The main components are the same for both:
A ceremony is combined with a meal, to remember how God saved the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt:
Drink 4 cups of wine (or grape juice)
Answer 4 questions that explain the distinctives of this celebration
Eat Matzah (unleavened bread), bitter herbs, and kharoset (brown apple mixture)
Review the story of the first Passover, including the 10 plagues
Sing the song, Dayenu
Eat the Passover supper
Let the children redeem the afikomen (the hidden unleavened bread) for a prize
 
Because we are not Jewish, and my main goal is to re-enact the last supper, we feel free to leave things out, or rearrange them to fit our needs. For example, we do not eat unleavened bread for 7 days, or rid the house of all products that contain yeast or baking powder. When the children were small, and hungry, we went ahead and ate the supper first, then followed with the ceremony. When we are in the U.S. where kosher Matzah is readily available, we buy that. But most of the time, I make my own unleavened bread. But most of the changes are in an attempt to more closely follow what Jesus and the disciples did. We follow the Messianic Passover Haggadah, with a few exceptions
Set a a low table
Sit on the floor with cushions
Light oil lamps
Wash feet
Eat lamb
Eat dried fruit for dessert
Set a table with best china and sliver
Sit on chairs with pillows to lean against
Light candles
Wash hands
Do not eat lamb
Eat sponge cake for dessert
If you want to try celebrating Passover, this inexpensive set provides a Haggadah (the order of service that leads you through what to say and do for the ceremony), a preparation guide with recipes, and a cassette with several songs to sing during the ceremony. That is all you need, if you can buy Matzah (unleavened bread) locally.

If you need a recipe for unleavened bread, the “Last Supper” video comes with a recipe booklet with lots of yummy recipes that include foods that seem like Jesus might have eaten (with one exception of date cakes made with chocolate chips!) The video is so-so, but worth it just for the recipe booklet!
