Maundy Thursday commemorates the day Jesus and his Apostles are said to have shared the Last Supper. To celebrate and reflect, we will join for dinner that includes some of the Jewish food traditions of the time. Our menu is based on Exodus 12:1-14, Mark 14:12 and other references in scripture that symbolize the components of the meal we will share together.
Menu
Roasted Lamb with Herbs & Gravy
(symbolizing a traditional Passover dish of the sacrificial lamb offered by the Israelites on the eve of their departure from Egypt)
Roasted Potatoes
Apples, Carrots, Raisins & Cinnamon (symbolizing Harosis which is the mortar used by Hebrew slaves in their labors)
Mixed Green Salad (symbolizing bitter herbs that represent the bitterness of slavery & gratitude to God for the products of the earth)
Bread Assortment (including unleavened) & Dessert
