. SwedishrFinnish Baptist Mission meets
lical regulations touching the observ
ance of the Passover feast. Unleavened
bread is characterized as the "bread of
affliction." and is also referred to in
the Bible as the bread that was un
leavened because of the enforced hasty
departure from Egypt. In post-biblical
times the earnest desire to keep the
Injunctions most scrupulously led the
teachers of Israel to enact laws, such
as the use of special dishes that had
been guarded from contact with leaven,
and' reserved only for the Passover sea
son. A charming and effective feature in
the celebration of the feast is the spe
cial Seder service around the festive
family board on the first evening of the
feast, to which the orthodox add a
second evening. At this family service
a special ritual known as the "Hasea--dah"
is read. This ritual contains the
story of the redemption from servitude,
certain reflections inspired by the mem
ories of old and certain psalms. This is
followed by the festal meal, after which
grace is recited. The service concludes
with the reading of additional psalms,
the recitation of prayers and the sins
ing of time-honored hymns.
To this home service stranger and
homeless are cordially invited. On the
table In front of him who presides
over the meal are placed objects rem
iniscent of the ancient service and
servitude, such as bitter herbs, re
minder of tho bitter lot of those who
toiled in Egypt; a roast bone, calling
to mind the ancient paschal lamb: a,
roasted egg, memorial of the free-will
offering that was brought in addition
to the paschal lamb; parsley and thi
bowl of salt water, symbolizing tho
hyssop and its use in the first Pass
over observed in Egypt, and a. confec
tion of nuts and apples to represent tho
clay which Israel worked into bricks.
