We attended a Christian Passover Service tonight and supplied several Kosher desserts "afikoman." Christians have added this afikoman element at the end of the traditional Hebrew Seder Meal to represent the sweetness of Redemption through the work of Christ that we celebrate during the Easter celebration. The Last Supper where Jesus instituted the sacrament of Holy Communion occurred during His final meal with His disciples as they celebrated the Passover together the night before His crucifixion.
Our afikoman consisted of spiced apple crisps, unleven sponge cake with a warm raspberry marmalade, a "Shehakol" which is a hazelnut chocolate brownie and some Sinai desert chocolate chip cookies. Everyone seemed to enjoy the evening and the food. We had the pleasure of our Pastor's Jewish neighbor attending and he added to the special meaning of the celebration of our spiritual forefathers.
