A
Christian Passover Seder Meal - "Haggadah means
"Book of Remembrance' and it is the book, or liturgy that tells
the Jewish people how to celebrate the Passover Seder (meal.) Christ,
mysteriously incarnate as both the Son of God and a faithful Jewish
man choose the Passover Seder to institute the new 'meal' of salvation
and redemption. Christians can celebrate this seder to share a common
ancestry with our Jewish brothers and sisters, and in memory of the
meal that Jesus celebrated with his apostles. This 'Messianic Passover'
meal should be celebrated on Holy Thursday. " - from the source
