Op here, I know the point of Passover is to recall the Jews escaping Egyptian slavery but she talked to me like I had no idea what that was. I just listened intently but the whole time I was thinking 1. Christians have this story too, it's in the Bible. And 2, I'm black, I understand the gravity of slavery, no need to keep hammering it into me like I don't get it.


Maybe she doesn't know many gentiles?

I think it's funny she would assume you'd never tried Matzoh before-- It was always a springtime tradition (with butter, cinnamon and sugar) growing up and I am born-and-bred Episcopalian.


We had it sandwiched in a crusty baguette with ham and cheese!

huh. Maybe she was asking you about something in your culture that related then and was surprised to hear about eucharist! I'm not sure what she was expecting to hear, but I'm sure this had something to do with it. Sounds like you handled it juuuussssst fine.

OP it's a non-issue. Every family has that crazy Aunt it seems. I'm sure this isn't the first embarrassing thing she did.
