Passover! || Mayim Bialik 

My husband dresses up as Pharaoh and we throw rubber frogs at him 🤣

I’m a protestant Christian and love to learn about different religions! Thanks for this information

I love this! I was disconnected from my Jewish heritage when I was 5, so I lost most of the knowledge that I had about passover from when I was a kiddo. I definitely remember matzoh, and a tradition that my family had about hiding it for the kids to find. Now as I vegan I HAVE TO subscribe to this channel. Thanks for your inspiring content. :-)

At Pesach, I love the sense of belonging to something much much bigger and important than my everyday life! When I am in the process of getting rid of all the leaven from my home, I am connecting to HaShem. And asking him to get rid of the sin (leaven) in my heart! Baruch HaShem!

the whole video i'm smiling like a crazy person lol i love you Mayim!!!!

Thanks you for this video. I am a Christian and have not experienced a full Passover celebration, yet, so it was very informative to get an expanded sense of what it is all about. I've studied the bible for a long time, yet your video sheds a light of enthusiasm on the special time that helps to understand it better.

Passover is a lovely connection to our ancestors and our children. My memory is good food, feeling sleepy. All of us would gather up and talk and lots of laughter, fall asleep in my dad's chair that felt gigantic. Lots of singing. Just warm and loving memories. The blanket that my bubbe had made that smelled like strawberries and soap.

Muslims in Syria used to celebrate the Passover, in a less festive way of course. I remember my grandmother making great food and a huge feast for "The day on which Moses defeated the pharaoh".

*Mayim, you're my Wonder Woman!*

As a Christian, we learned about Passover in Sunday School. But my story has nothing to do with the holiday but with the Manischewitz. I grew up in a dry house (no alcohol). My father had won a bottle of the wine in question at a company party. Without telling anyone, he put it in the refrigerator to cool. The next day I went into the refrigerator and thought i saw a bottle of "grape juice". I poured myself a small glass and took a large gulp. SURPRISE - Wine tastes nothing like Grape Juice. I dropped the glass, spilling the wine, screamed at the horrible taste, and caused both my mother and father to come into the kitchen. Bottom line - mom grew up in a "dry house", dad got yelled at for bringing wine into the house, I got a good talking to for opening the bottle without permission. And finally, I didn't taste alcohol again until I was 22.

amen i love this and i is a very devout catholic who celebrates the Sababbath

I’m not Jewish, but my priests’ wife is. One year for our church we celebrated Passover as a new experience. It’s been over 5 years and I’ll always remember how calming and loving it was. It’s an amazing experience

I have really been enjoying following you for the last few months, Mayim. Your videos related to Judaism are especially heartwarming for me. Most of my childhood, i.e. my primary and secondary school years, I grew up in a town that was predominantly Jewish. Our school system observed holidays like Rosh Hashanah, and our class graduation was moved from Saturday afternoon to Thursday night for our class valedictorian. In college, I dated an orthodox Jewish man for a year, walked to and attended shul with him most Friday evenings, and even lived with him and kept kosher for 6 months. Boiling all of our kitchenware was an adventure! We hosted a kosher Thanksgiving and a pared down version of Passover in our apartment. I remember cleaning the corners with a feather! The whole experience touched me, because I really appreciated the attention and care involved. Thank you for sharing the stories of your faith. 💚

I was born and raised in Israel (before I moved to Canada in 2004) and I always remember those Sedar that I had as a kid. I remember that before my grandmother passed away, we had one sedar at her and my granddad's house. My great grandmother also joined us and she used to make gefilte fish from scratch and bring it. As a kid I loved it but as an adult, I don't like fish. I also remember that same Seder we played "find the afikomen" and my brother and I searched for hours. They even did the "hot-cold" game with us and we had hard time finding it. It turned out my granddad hid it above the dishwasher. Those kind of memories I will always cherish.

Mayim you're videos are sooooo great. It doesn't even matter what you're talking about. Your energy is the thing.

I love Mayim's Jewish education videos! I'm Catholic and I always love learning about different faiths and practices.

I celebrate Passover also as a Christian. It's the one of the most important feast the God command us to keep. We accept that Jesus has is came in the flesh to full fill the prophecy of the Passover. We keep Passover with the unleavened bread and wine. Happy Passover!

I'm not Jewish, but my mom's best friend was a Rabbi and I remember my first seder st her house. Her sons & husband set the table & were very excited because my mom, dad & I were the first non-Jews they celebrated with. I remember lots of matzoh - which I still love to this day- and wine. I remember coloring books describing the Exodus for us kids & just the laughs & love at the table. I remember well how happy they were to share their faith with us & how happy my parents were to help them finish the wine! Happy Passover 😀

learning Hebrew, LOVING IT!! It's changing my heart. Now that I know I am Graphed in - I'm in for learning my heritage. My first year for Passover. Thanks for the teaching

My ignorance about Jewish Tradition is huge, so I really appreciate that you share this video with us gentiles. Love you, Mayim, you are one of a kind. What a woman!

Happy Passover! I just discovered, through Ancestry, that I’m not of Russian or Polish Jewish heritage like my grandmother said! I’m Norwegian and Finnish Jewish. I even found out that on my mom’s side I have Jewish roots in Ireland as well! Because of these results I’ve been doing a lot of research into my family and discovered 4 second cousin’s in Norway who look just like my dad!

That was funny :) Loved how you pronounced the words in Hebrew lol Hi from Israel, Hag Same'ach!!

Despite my lack of belief in God I’ve always found different religions and cultural traditions to be interesting. That is part of the reason why I’m subscribed. Thanks for the enthusiastic educational videos you provide.

I was raised as an Irish Catholic in an area where there were very few non-Christians. I love you perspective on Passover. I learned a lot.

As a Christian your videos give beautiful depth to the heritage that we share through The Torah.

HAPPY PASSOVER, Mayim Bialik! ✡✡✡

Every Passover my father dress up as a Hebrew slave who came to Israel from Egypt. He leaves the house,knocks on the door and then comes in and does a whole show. Then he lets the kids do the show too, they really like it and that's what keeps them up late. I'ts funny too. Of course we steal the afikoman and "blackmail" Grandpa until he promises to buy us what we ask for, and only then we give him back the afikoman. My experiences and memories from Passover are happy and fun memories thanks to my beautiful family. I really love this holiday! Happy Passover Mayim ☺🍷

I’m Jewish by blood even though my family practices another religion. However I grew up celebrating the Passover and Chanukah. I love celebrating the Passover and I think it’s just such a wonderful way to celebrate a different religion and the culture of my ancestors. I hope to continue this tradition with my family as well.

My Passover memories mostly involve watching Shari Lewis’ Passover special and acting out all of Lambchop’s parts with my Lambchop puppet. There was the one year, though, where I accidentally broke a glass while waiting for my dad to finish the blessings, then decided he was taking too long and just started eating my matzo balls. Passover dinner and ADHD are super incompatible :)

As a Protestant Christian, I've always found it difficult to explain "Easter" to my kids, but through Passover, the message is a little more family friendly. Another reason I concentrate on the Passover traditions surrounding the holiday, is that most "Easter Traditions" are actually Pagon.... God commanded us to teach our families through the First Testament holidays, so I do. Thank you Mayim; it's nice to have Hollywood people expressing their Faith...

As a child, Passover was when we would all sit at "the children's table" in the living room and get absolutely wasted on bubbie's homemade wine. It was so sweet, it made Manischewitz red taste like a very dry white. Naturally, my cousins and I would get all flushed, with our hair matted to our very sweaty foreheads, while we waited for the various aunts to emerge from the kitchen with a bowl of this and plate of that. Getting 3 knaidlach (matzoh balls) in your bowl was a treat. Since my own childhood harkens back to a MUCH earlier time, when the NHL had but 6 teams, this was usually also when the Stanley Cup finals were on. My grandfather struggled to keep my dad and uncles at the table, and fight their collective urge to move to the living room and turn on the TV. The only ritual they wanted to stretch out past 10:00PM was the 2nd and 3rd period. Necessary for Passover is a very good dustpan and whisk broom. Imagine the driest possible Christmas tree, constantly dropping its needles, and that's pretty much what the 24hr shower of matzoh crumbs is like. Manischewitz and Streits seem to send talent scouts out to the parking lots of every top-tier food-chemistry program in the nation, to recruit graduates that can emulate "normal" food with Passover ingredients. Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings, but Passover noodles and pizza crusts just do NOT cut it. These are science experiments gone awry. It's *only* 8 days, folks. Deal with it. I'm sure you can manage. It beats wandering in the desert for 40 years, right? I have the distinction of having "pesach" (Hebrew for Passover) as my middle name in Hebrew.

As an Italian, I find the idea of it taking that many steps to get to dinner crazy. As a gay man, the story reminds me to keep hope alive in the dark times because things get better.

As someone who was raised catholic..i love how you celebrate your faith....I love watching your videos.

I was raised in a non-religious household, but my father was raised Jewish and we always went to my grandma's house for Passover growing up. To this day it's my favorite holiday. I love the story of people essentially demanding and taking their own liberation. Plus the meal with family and friends is just lovely.

i love this girl so much ! She still acts like Amy!

Thank you for the education! Knew I could count on you Mayim!

I was watching “The Big Bang Theory” when I received the notification ❤️ (S10, Ep 2) for anyone wondering

Second year I will celebrate Passover and i am excited 😊😊😊

watching this trying to learn so that i can make a good impression on my boyfriend’s family, i was raised softly catholic but not enough to recall the bible and i really appreciate short and concise information in a video like this!! thank you :-)

Memories: first time drinking I fell off a chair Memories: cousin Brough his ultra Christian boyf and he proceeded to tell us we where wrong

Very informational!

Mayim Bialik is the only person who's ever made me feel like a religious holiday celebration would be the happenin' place to be!! I freaking love her!!😁😁😁

So, that first year as an "adult" in the Jewish sense, I was encouraged to drink the real stuff over the grape juice. My mom was generous with her pour, and lets just say, that year, I passed out with my face in my bowl of matzoh ball soup. A sip of wine.... Dayenu!

Passover Cereal? Didn’t even know that was a thing.

Thank you so much for this Mitzvoh! I shared it with my non-Jewish young adults to let them know what Passover is about. You are perfect for that. On Passover 2020 - I am grateful for you.

I am Jewish and have MANY wonderful memories of HUGE and very long Passover seders with lots of Manischewitz products. I’ve noticed many non-Jewish folks have mentioned that either their churches or families celebrated Passover, but I didn’t see anyone having mentioned that Christ’s Last Supper was said to have been a Passover meal. Someone made brief mention of the DaVinci masterpiece, but did not make the point. I love it when our religious holidays cross over. If anyone ever had any question, just take note of how close Passover is to Easter, and that Passover always comes before Easter. 😊 It’s a beautiful world when we celebrate together. Thank you, Mayim and Manischewitz for this terrific video. (Sorry I’m so late to the party!)

Even though I was brought up catholic we had manischewtiz wine at thanksgiving and Christmas! Oh the memories!

I’m not Jewish, but Manishewitz wine was a staple at all of my great grandmothers holidays. Wasn’t thanksgiving without it! I was also really fortunate to grow up in a church that had a great relationship with a synagogue in town, so I got to attend a few seders.

Matzoh and butter all day long. 8 days later 8 lbs.heavier. LOVE matzoh and butter.

We have a tradition in our family where before the "Ma Nishtana" the kids at the Seder are given chocolate and sweets. The reason is because in a normal day regular parents won't let their children eat candy before the meal. Doing the opposite gives the children a reason to ask "Ma Nishtana".

A couple of years ago my youngest brother hosted his first seder. I helped by buying some of the supplies. While shopping in the relatively large Passover section at one of the stores I found a bag of plagues. Yes, little plastic representations that can be held while reading the appropriate section. They added some fun and now we use them at all the seders.

Manishewets memory unrelated to passover: made matzo/flatbread balls when I literally had zero food in my apartment (I had just moved out and didn't know anything). God provided!!! I ate them with earl grey tea. Also, mom brought me food the next day because she wasn't gonna let me starve.

Happy Passover, and thank you for teaching me about Passover.

The first time I sang the Ma Nishtana during a Seder I was probably five years old. We were celebrating with about a hundred people at a hotel and just that night I noticed that one of my teeth got real loose. So while the Seder started to turn towards the Ma Nishtana, I grabbed a handkerchief and pulled my tooth out - just in time to grab the mic and sing the four questions, hoping that I wouldn't spit blood all over the place.

LOVE all your videos but this is currently ranked as #1 fave. I am not Jewish, but I observe the Sabbath (Saturday) and have my entire life. In 2017 I was looking to make some extra money and was hired by 2 Jewish communities in my city to help out during Passover and New Years. Little did I know a job would lead me to such an eye opening experience. I didn’t really know anything about Passover or even the Hebrew calendar, and have learned so much over the course of a year. I am so excited to continue being involved in the Jewish community and have decided to keep kosher during this Passover and truly reflect on the miracle’s of God. ❤️

Why do you burn the food if you missed some. Isn't that a waste of food. Just curious on why you would burn it instead of giving it away?

The new background looks so fresh! Liked! :D

This will be our first true celebration of Passover... We were accustomed to good Friday so We don't know what we are doing... I am watching your videos and others to find out.. thank you for helping us.. Baruch Hashem Shalom ❤

We opened the front door for Elijah, and a short time later a “street person” entered the front hall. Wow!!! Were we surprised, packed up a meal for him, and wished him peace and happiness!

Thanks for enthusiastically sharing your faith and heritage in such an understandable way! Helps midwestern gentiles like me learn so much. ❤️❤️

So excited for this vid. Thank Elohim for you.

I'm not Jewish but I was a preschool teacher at a JFCC school. One of my favorite Pessach treats was dark chocolate dipped matzah. At work I paired it with grape juice along with the students as we taught them songs. I'm going to have dai ennu trapped in my head for days now. The parents usually spoiled the teachers during Hannuka, Purrim, and Pessach so we always had kosher wine at home. At home I loved the dark chocolate dipped matzah with red wine and fruit mainly blueberries or bananas. I attended several sedars and my favorite part is similar to my Pagan beliefs. I love preparing the plate for the late arrival or unexpected guest. On Samhain (Sa-when AKA Halloween) we honor our ancestors and make an extra plate as well. If no such guest arrives we set the plate on our porch or in our yard. It is nourishment for the souls seeking the Summerlands. We do remove anything which could harm any animals that might come around. So while my favorite Jewish holiday is Purrim because Esther is an amazing feminist icon and I love wine and hammentashin (I mostly love apricot, raspberry, and chocolate.) I love Pessach because this one detail is both an act of kindness and a sort of combined tradition that shows how each culture and religion are rooted in such goodness even if there are disagreements. Thank you for the videos. I really enjoy them. Have you ever made one about brain disorders and their recovery? I'm epileptic and have fibromyalgia. I've been seizure free for three years but my right temporal lobe is basically a broken mess. Is full recovery possible? I know you're a neuroscientist which is why I would be very interested on your input on the subject. If you read this and have made a video on it please leave me a link. Thank you so much. You are a role model for girls who want to be scientists but were afraid of being too smart.

Hello so we gave up Easter years after learning the truth behind it and bc we are graphed in we now celebrate Passover every year yay. The first year we tried to make it super serious with all the bells and whistles but have learned to let that go out the window. So after my father in law was teaching the lesson he stood up to bless the meal and then Sat down, Where then chair broke and he was laying on the floor so He jumped up yelling and saying some not so holy words and we all laughed. So now he still teaches but the older kids take over most of the reading and the night is a blast. SHALOM

We drank wine after seder and watched the movie Moses staring Burt Lancaster till we fell asleep. What an awesome Passover! Shaloam

I love Manishewitz!! As a kid, their macaroons were (still are) fabulous!. (However havent ibdulged due to dietary changes...trying to veganize😉) The concord grape wine is still one of my fave go -to wines. Love the white cream wine as well! Hag Sameach!! Love, Sue

as a non-Jew i LOVE celebrating Passover with my fiancé and his family. It's pretty fun actually. Also, Mayim could you live stream or record a passover sader for people who can't participate in one themselves? Due to personal issues we will not be participating this year but I'd love to feel like im participating.

I grew up Catholic, but our church held a Sedar every Passover. I haven't celebrated Passover in 20 years (we moved away in my late teens), but I have fond memories of sitting at an enormous table, telling stories, and actually being allowed wine as teenagers! (If we wanted; there was always grape juice, and no pressure or teasing if we opted for it instead.) I always thought the Sedar went by so fast, even though it was HOURS (and I always kind of assumed it was good ol' Catholic solemnity that drew it out so long - ha!)

"He was despised & forsaken of men; a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief." Isaiah 53:3. 🌷

Nos encantan tus vídeos!

Thank you for this video! I'm an English teaching assistant in Madrid, Spain right now and I want to send some videos to my students to teach them about the holidays that I celebrate as an American Jew, so this video is perfect! Each year my whole family gets together in NY (usually around 40 people) and have 2 huge seders! We like to do a haroset challenge where everyone takes a chunk and eats it and we film to see who's face turns red first!

Were not Jewish but my husband was a youth worker for a few years and loved doing slightly crazy things. We had a Purim party and when it came to Passover we had grape juice and Matzoh. Trying to find Matzoh in our local supermarket was hysterical because we didn’t actually know what it looked like!

As Passover is meant to pass on the story of the Exodus to the children, it's important to make the Seder fun! It's a long meal and we have a tradition to get the kids up from the table about 30 minutes before the break in the seder for dinner and take the kids to the kitchen where we dip fresh strawberries into melted chocolate then put them in the refrigerator to set for dessert. It celebrates the wonderful sweet berries (sweet like our freedom) and the tradition of dipping foods at the seder. It also gets the kids busy and feeling important because they contributed to the meal! This year, with the first seder falling on the Sabbath, we'll be making them in the afternoon but it's still a cherished family tradition - in addition to all the others!

love from the netherlands.

I am catholic and I grew up celebrating Passover at my youth group church every year not really sure why, because I know that Christianity doesn't continue with a lot of Jewish culture. But I loved going through the different foods and I love the tradition behind it. It connects us (at least it connects me) to Jesus and the last supper, but also what our religious ancestors and Gods chosen people had to go through. As the bible contains the Old testament I think its a really important holiday to celebrate or at least know the significance of. Although Catholics don't prep for it for a month :)

I was in a Sunday Christian Church until 3years ago when I found out that the Messiah celebrated Passover and the I wanted to celebrate it myself and learn about it then I changed to become a Messianic Jew and this year will be the start of my third year following Torah and having Passover.

Just curious. Is Hebrew read from left to right or right to left? Also you are so much prettier as you than they let you be on the show. Love your videos. They are very informative.

I was raised half n half. So I remember my family only did Passover 1 time ....I was about age 8 or 9. I remember little about it. My parents divorced in 1968 n then it was foster care - 3 different homes - one for each of us. I am the oldest of the three n was left in charge...so I am bossy. Today I am the survivor. All my family is predeceased. I can become very lonely. I no longer celebrate anything. It has no meaning when totally alone. I have my half wild cat Chloe n a stray I call Moe as companions. When is there a new big bang???????? Storyline .....I feel needs some revamping......a spark of something, is missing from the characters. I know there are guest spots. Hire me!!!! I could play the vagrant that Sheldon n Amy take in. Lol. Or some university colleague? Seriously.....these new episodes need that little something to entice n add spice!!! Ps I worked as special extra, right here in Montreal, Quebec....Canada. Now I am 61 n in chronic pain. Ach wish you happiness. Waiting for you to marry your best friend. You have the right to remarry n have that life bond!!!! All best wishes.....sincerely, Malka

Wow I can’t help but smile, laugh and love watching Mayim.

As Christians. We have different celebrations, but I love Chanukah. And we have celebrated it twice. I love the lights, and the menu, and having another excuse to get family together. I also like the idea of celebrating something that Jesus would have have recognized. While he did not have dreidels and gold covered chocolate coins he would have know bout the rededication of the temple and the miracle of the lights. I love the story of Passover, and would like to celebrate it, some day, but that is a celebration I will not touch. Some Christians do, but I feel that, as a non Jew, there is so ,ice missing from my background to truly give it the justice and depth of respect it is due. My family never had to flee a progrom, or the approach of the holocaust. I feel that the only way I can experience a true Passover dinner is at the table of someone who knows the scope of sacrifice and suffering this holiday remembers.

Do you actually believe that God favored 'your' people and helped you escape Egypt? And do you actually believe that your God(Yhvh) killed all the children of Egypt? I am serious. I want to hear it from you. Do you believe that your God is the one? But why did he have a selected group of people? Why didn't your God show himself/reveal stuffs in other parts of the world in your opinion? Or would you also say that he did reveal himself and thus people have different faiths and understanding? I do not find that appealing at all.. I would like you to answer these because I want to hear the answers to these, not from an overly religious person, but from someone as intellectual as you, who otherwise would absolutely abandon religion already. Toda rabah!

Every day. Is a holiday for an atheist

When I was a kid, the seders at my Orthodox grandparents' house went on until early morning. The little kids would pass out in their chairs as the service continued. Conversely, seders on the other side were often held in a hotel, with few if no prayers and gifts (!) for all the kids. We got all dressed up and boy did we love it. Home seders were not as long, but the house had been cleaned we were all dressed up (I still remember a pair of patent leather pumps and a crinoline dress) and the food made by my wonderful mother was delicious. Seders were wonderful and I cherish the memories.

These comments are some of the most respectful religious debate I have ever seen. I admire (and enjoy!) the thoughtful discourse.

שלום לך מים . רציתי רק לומר לך ( דווקא בעברית ... ) שאני מאוד שמח לצפות בך , והסיבה לכך היא כמובן שקודם כל כיף לצפות בך כי את מאוד כיפית וסיבה נוספת כי עד כמה שאני יודע את בין הבודדות אם לא היחידה מבין היהודים בהוליווד שממש מחוברת לשורשים היהודיים שלה , זה מאוד מרענן , תצליחי !!!

Doesn't like Thanksgiving but still wants us to appreciate passover? Oh boy my head hurts.

I love hearing about the Jewish faith. Thank you Mayim for sharing your love of your faith.

My Passover memory (as a Gentile) is my Jewish 1st Grade teacher sharing her traditions with us during recess (And Channukah too. ) 30 + years later and I still buy Matzos in April and spin my little blue dreidel she gave me in December. Share your culture with a kid. He just might grow up remembering it.

I’ve been to a Passover dinner it was truly enlightening. We actually had it at the baptist church I attended. I wish I remembered the details but it’s been so long.

I am reading the bible for the First time and finishing Gospel of Matthews and I came across the Passover. Discover them to be Jewish Festive holiday. I live in Ireland and my Fiancé has a book of the Jewish in Ireland. (Never knew why). He is Polish and we go to Poland a lot. His city is Lublin and there are many Jewish places and his father had a favourite Jewish bar, when his father passed away I was there and they were playing a playlist that his father prepared for the bar. We also had the chance to go to Krakow, we were based in the Jewish quarter, in front of the synagogue. I had the chance to go inside. I was in different Jewish restaurants and bars. In my city São Paulo, Brazil, we have many Jewish people. I wish I knew all this deep Information before, I am glad I found this RU-vid Chanel in this moment of my life, I have massive interest in all this beautiful Story of your beautiful people. Looking forward to the next Passover.

Yeah, so I totally yelled “Dayenu?!?!" when you mentioned the drinking songs. So, I'm not Jewish, but I have family who is. I have very fond memories of sitting around the Seder table, singing my lungs out in a language I don't speak.... because family. I loved knowing I was there because my family wanted to make sure I was passed-over as well.

You had me at "we drink four cups of wine". :-)

The more I watch your videos, the more I love you. Thank you for enlightening us with such joy and light :)

We got showed this at school and the first thing I noticed you were Amy in the Big Bang theory and I am a massive Big Bang theory nerd I absolutely love the show it’s my fav tv show I literally watch it all the time and my name is called Amy :)

These days we give our chumatz to people who don’t celebrate Passover. I’m sure the Fire Department appreciates that. Have a great Pesach Mayim and everyone!

“Fairly pathetic” is Spot on. Although, I love spreading butter on it.

I LOVVVEEEE THAT THEY SPONSORED YOU!!!!!

Passover is my second favorite holiday ♥️♥️♥️ I cant wait for the seder

Worked in a Kosher meat kitchen for five years and cleaned and cooked for five Passovers. Not a fun time for the cook! I loved my job, even Passover after the cleaning was done. Lost my job when my bosses lost the contract. Could have stayed but the way they had the contact taken away was sneaky and underhanded. I felt that staying would condone their treatment. Haven't had a job I loved so much since leaving. Sometimes you have to make a sacrifice to take the high road. I love this video as it brings back so many pleasant memories. Sure do miss kugel and tzimmes. (Potato not noodle kugel for Passover of course)

Manischewitz, Streit, Rokeach, Kedem. So many companies' products to choose from!

As a Catholic, it's really cool to hear about how our elder brothers (and sisters) in the faith celebrate this big holiday that is so close, both chronologically and through its meaning, to the Holy Week. This year I reflected on reviving some of the old Christian traditions related the Holy Week and I envy you for having your tradition so alive at your home.
