passover is my most cherished family tradition, and not just because the scene depicting it in "the prince of egypt" is unquestionably the most epic.
the seder is (paradoxically, perhaps) one of the most powerful reminders i have as a christian of our present hope and coming glory.

the service's solemnity, its symbolism and its promise have shaped my understanding of the nature of God.
besides, it's always funny to watch my dad try to muscle down a tablespoon full of horseradish.
this year i was privileged to host it myself for the first time.
my family was a few states away, and though i missed them with all my heart, i was so blessed to share this most precious of evenings with 15 of my nearest and dearest.
thank you, maris, for documenting.
