Passover
Matzah Ball Soup, haroset, horseradish, and the Passover. These all speak of a season that I love. We just finished our Passover Seder. This is the first year that we have spent Passover in Florida!
We have been attending a wonderful Messianic Fellowship in Boynton Beach, Fl and they put on a "Messiah in the Passover Seder" for 91 people. The tables were set with burgandy attire. The candles were lit by the mother at each table. Then the lights were dimmed and I along with 5 other dancers entered in with the Candle Dance.
This is a beautiful dance where we hold winie glasses with gold beaded votive candles lit within. The room was dark except for the candles on the tables and the candles that we were holding. Here is a picture of that dance.
As this dance ended the lights were turned back on and the ceremony of Passover began.
Intermingled throughout the night were readings about Messiah in the Passover. My husband and my son both spent time reading Scripture and the Passover story to the listeners.
This is my son, Jordan, reading from the Haggadah.
We concluded the night with a dance that I choreographed about 19 years ago. It's an interpretive dance performed to the song, Watch the Lamb, by Ray Boltz.
 
This was a very moving dance about a father and his two small sons going up to Jerusalem to sacrafice their lamb. The two small boys were to "watch the lamb."
As the story proceeds the crowd becomes unruly hollering, "Crucify Him!"
The dance depicts the father having to carry His cross. The children weeping and the oldest saying, "Father please forgive us. The lamb ran away." He tells his boys to turn and face the cross and "Watch the Lamb".
Very powerful and moving!
Oh, next year in Jerusalem.....this is my hope!

With that said, the whole seder thing feels just a little bit awkward. We do our best though, to tell the story and to point out the gospel message within it.
With all that said, I've never seen the likes of what you show - the beautiful burgandy dresses with the gold candle lights to begin the seder ceremony. And your dance - wow, are you brave.
By the way, that song you danced to is the same song that we played at our sedar in the movie we watched.
How come you sit on the floor?
