Today was Good Friday, and we decided to have our first Passover Seder.
I know, it's a bit later than it should be, but I just decided today.
As a result of the tardiness, it wasn't a perfect, by-the-book Seder, and since it was geared toward a 5-yr-old it was toned down and shortened, but it was great!
Jaymi helped a lot with the setup. She set the table, put 12 glasses out for the 12 apostles, 1 for Jesus and one for Elijah the Prophet. she filled a bowl with salt & water, she gathered towels for us to wear (so that we could try to pretend we were dressed as they would have 2,000 years ago), she helped me make a Red Sea (with two red sheets), and she helped with the food placement.
We didn't do the prayers or songs, but we did all of the explanations, the different tastes of all of the foods we were supposed to have (with crackers instead of Matzah - it was too late to get Matzah) and we even did a bit of acting out the 10 plagues.
It was excellent! And Jaymi said that it was awesome :)

this sounds like it was fantastic.
We re-enacted a passover meal last week with some friends too - they had Matzah too :-)
It was interesting & fun for the kids too.
