For most of His life, Jesus celebrated Passover in Jerusalem. The Passover ceremony and celebration brought most religious-minded Jews to Jerusalem every year. The Passover Seder—with all of its symbolism—was used by Jesus to explain His ministry one last time on the Thursday night before his crucifixion. And, at the end of this meal, Jesus asked His disciples to "Do this in remembrance of Me.”
More and more Christians are now including the Seder meal in their Holy Week activities, as more and more Christians are learning the significance of this ceremony and celebration and the connection we all have with our Jewish heritage.
