This Lenten season we will be reflecting on the Feasts of Israel.  We will be looking at each of the feasts God calls Israel to celebrate found in Leviticus 23. We begin today with the Feast of Passover, Leviticus 23:4-5. The Feast of Passover remembers the exodus of Israel from slavery under Egypt and how the Angel of Death passed over the houses of those Israelites who painted their door frames with the blood of a lamb.  A sign that the freedom of those in the home were purchased through the blood of an innocent lamb.  The beginning of Israel claiming a new identity, one found in God rather than as slaves.
