With Easter approaching, Anna's 3rd grade Sunday School class was able to experience a Passover Feast similar to the one in the Bible. It was a neat experience for them. One I'm sure they will remember for awhile.
Along with the 4th grade Sunday School, the kids "painted" the doorways with "blood" (or red paint) before entering their classroom. The 3rd graders wore robes like the people in Biblical times, and as they entered they were seated at long tables that were set with plates of food for the Feast.
Mrs. Samantha Fikes, who teaches the 4th graders, led them through the meaning of each part of the feast. It was pretty incredible to go through each piece of food and truly understand what it meant that special night so long ago. I don't know if the kids will remember the meanings, but I feel sure they will remember some of the food that they tried - especially the horseradish! I think we were all thankful that we don't eat the same foods today. (Sidenote: Anna DID like the lamb meat and the grape juice!)

The lamb meat was pretty tasty
Horseradish?? Aaaaggghhh! Not Anna's favorite!
She washed it down with some grape juice - much better!
