As an Episcopal priest with an interest in the Jewish Roots of Christianity, I assembled this Haggadah for use in my Parish, St. Bartholomew’s, Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. During Holy Week we have a Seder on Maundy Thursday, the evening when Jesus celebrated the Passover with his disciples. It was his last meal for on the next day he died. Aware of his death he gave new meaning to two of the foods of the meal, the bread and the wine. He declared that the bread signified his broken body and the wine his shed blood. The Passover for Jews recounts God’s deliverance and redemption when they were enslaved in Egypt. For Christians the meal that is fashioned from the Passover meal recounts our deliverance and redemption from the powers of sin and evil and death. We call this meal the Eucharist and celebrate it weekly, on Sunday, the day of Jesus’ resurrection. In this Haggadah I try to remain faithful to Seder as it has been observed by Jews while incorporating elements that make it distinctly Messianic (affirming the Christian belief that Jesus is the Messiah).
