[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This bit about cultural appropriation suggests that many on this forum are unaware that many, many Christians do celebrate a Christian Passover and that it consists of unleavened bread to represent Christ's life free from sin and wine to represent the blood of Christ...and that the Christian passover service is symbolic of the New Covenant in Christ. Some Christian passover services also include rituals such as washing of each others' feet (though I've never been in a congregation that does this) in the way that Christ washed the feet of his disciples before the last supper.

I've never heard of a Christian Passover meal being referred to as a seder though.

I think it is maybe a bit surprising to Jews that we share so much of the same "story" of our faith? I often react in the same way when Mormon friends talk about stories or verses in the Book of Mormon. Their religion has the same Old and New Testaments that my Christian religion observes, but then they have these added sacred texts that are essential to their belief system on top of what my religion believes. And then they call themselves the One True Church. They are the REAL Christians.
So, of course it sets up an odd feeling inside me of how they are "doing it wrong"...but I don't have any animosity because I do think they are sincere in their beliefs. I don't think anyone on this thread is trying to mock Jewish people for their practices or faith. We just have varying degrees of understanding about what it is that each other believes/practice.[/quote]

No we all know the history. Just call it Christian Passover. Don’t act like you’re doing the same thing as us, when you’re clearly not.[/quote]
