The Festival of Passover
      

Countdown to Pesach

(Days : Hours : Minutes : Seconds)

Peasch — or Passover — is my most favorite holiday. It's the time of year that I get to share the story of redemption not only with my family, but also with Christian congregations who are eager to learn more about their Hebrew roots.

I conducted my first Passover Seder in 1999. I had been in my transition to Messianic Judaism for a little over a year and it was both thrilling and intimidating at the same time. It thrilled me because I was actually participating in a celebration that Yeshua had participated in every year of His life. It was scary because I came to the realization that I was sitting in the same seat the Master occupied at the last Seder.

The Festivals of HASHEM describe the intricate details of the redemption process. Passover marks the beginning of that process. Each succeeding feast brings us closer to the final redemption of Yom Kippur. Some of the explanation for the feasts is long, but I encourage you to take the time to read and ponder each festival as it relates to salvation and redemption.

During Passover week, three of the seven festivals of the redemption process occur. Pesach, Chag Ha'Matzah and Chag Ha'Bikkur.

Let us begin our journey. The following links detail the Torah of Pesach — Redemption accomplished with the shedding of the blood of the Lamb of God which takes away the sins of the world...
