Last night Rachael and I went to a Passover service at BYU. Her Isiah professor holds several of these each spring, it includes a full catered meal as well as an explanation and celebration of the Passover.
To celebrate the passover, certain foods are eaten in remembrance of the Israelite bondage in Egypt, the most memorable of these is the bitter herbs (horseradish). three times throughout the celebration you eat a spoonful of straight horseradish, in memory of the burdens placed upon the ancient Israelites. It was a great evening, it was very educational and enjoyable but if I ever have to eat straight bitter herbs again it will be too soon.
