This week for our Jewish brothers and sisters is the commemoration of Passover when the Angel of Death passed over the households of God’s chosen people.
The sign for deliverance was the blood of the lamb put on the lintels of their door frame.
It is a festival of freedom calling to mind God’s releasing them from Egyptian bondage.
For Christians, this week is Holy Week taking us from Palm Sunday through Holy Thursday (the Last Supper), Good Friday (the death of Jesus) and finally to Resurrection Sunday, when Jesus rose from the dead.
