I'm not a practicing Catholic anymore, but my recollection was that we thought of what we call the Old Testament, and Moses, and Abraham and Sarah, et al, as our literal and spiritual ancestors. Of course their deliverance from slavery was a cause for celebration.

Mind you, we didn't call it a Seder meal, and we didn't wear yarmulkes, but at the time of Passover, we made mention of it in service and were grateful for it.

Nowadays, I am much more into Passover, mainly because in my online community, my Jewish friends share their preparations and events with the others. I know when they are kashering their kitchens, and I have been sold Chametz. I know when my Jewish nurse friend is worried about coverage for her shifts, and what the best recipes are for challah French toast. It's a part of my annual rhythms and seasons to celebrate their joy of Pesach with them. it's not my story by any means, but it is a part of my life. [/quote]

That’s not what we have an issue with. Knowing what your Jewish friends are doing, or mentioning Passover during mass, isn’t the same thing as celebrating it as a Christian.[/quote]

Someone -- you or someone else -- had asked why we would care about Passover. That's why I care. WOuld it help if I go back and find that post?

Passover is meaningful to me for different reasons than when I was a practicing Catholic, but it was meaningful to me then, too. Literal and spiritual ancestry.

As regarding challah, I should not have included it in a discussion about Passover. It's just one of many discussions we have had.[/quote]

When we asked “why do you care” what we meant is “why are you having Seders in your Churches”?

If you’re not doing that, then our questions aren’t relevant to you.[/quote]
