Background Information on the Purpose of Seder

The word Seder simply means “order” and refers to an order of service designed to tell the story of the Passover. The Feast of Passover is geared for everyone including children, as we personally participate in the meal together. By touching, tasting, and smelling the elements on the Seder table, participants are brought back to the great events of the original Exodus and the redemption of the children of Israel. Additionally, for Christians, it reminds us of the redemption and deliverance from sin that God has provided through His Son. The first part of the Seder leads us through the story of the Exodus with prayers and foods and singing. It ends with a hearty meal and communion in the context Jesus shared it with his disciples.
