Will any Christians attend a Passover Seder?

Question

If so, what is your motivation?

Answer 1

Yes, math teacher who works with me. I have invited her and her husband both who are not Jewish to my family's Seder for the second night. The first Seder I will be at my rav's house (I am single and 24 and like traditional Seders and when I would have a wife on my own then most will be at my house). My parents have a beautiful Russian style Seder, so it would be fun for them to experience Russian Jewish kosher dishes as well as to experience a Reform style Seder. I do not know if the people I invited could tolerate 7 hour Seder at my Rav's house.

Answer 2

I have attended a passover Seder. My church encouraged it. While it was not a requirement in my church to do so, it was offered as a way for us to understand the Jewish traditions that are featured so promonately in our own religion. Jesus was a Jew and on the night he was betrayed he was celebration passover. It was very interesting (and the lamb was delicous) and I think more Christians should participate.

Answer 3

Why would you ask this? Every Christian that is truly a Christian and believes in the Word of the Living God would celebrate the Passover. Jesus Christ when he was crucified became our Passover. Christ celebrated the Passover, and who is Christian if not Jesus Christ Himself??

I realize that there are "Christians" who celebrate Ishtar, (easter), but that was a mistranslation one time in the Book of Acts, nothing more. Probably our Pagan friends on this forum will celebrate easter, I assume, since it is and always was a Pagan
celebration.
The unfortunate fact that the practice slipped into the Christian churches doesn't really surprize me, though.
If anyone states that they are a Christian, and celebrates easter instead of the Passover, then perhaps they are one of millions who have been deceived by their church system - A Christian will follow the teachings and example set forth by Jesus Christ. There is no grey area here. Either a person is Christian or they are not.
This is one way to separate those who truly are, from those who just like to "play church".

Answer 4

I've attended Seders before and my motivation has always been the same: I absolutely love hearing the songs, prayers and words. I find the Seder rituals to be quite beautiful and deeply moving.

Answer 5

I have a few times.#1 it's fun(depending on the people my Jewish friends I 've had for 35 yrs. make it so) It's informative and it helps one learn of the Hebrew experience.Plus to Christians it was a "Shadow of things to come" and the substance of that shadow was the work of Jesus.The perfect lamb of G-d,His blood made a passover for us and not a bone was broken.Besides, I love shouting the 10 plagues..,and eating horseradish.

Answer 6

you know, i'm a Christian- and recently i have been delving into the Old Testement....i was wondering why Passover isn't a Christian holiday as well...is it meant only for Jews because they were the ones deleivered from Egypt--but in the same, it was God who deleivered the Hebrews, and don't we Praise the same God? so shouldn't we celebrate it as well? being that we'd be celebrating an act of God...
i've always been intrested in the Jewish faith and culture...i think partly b/c i have Jewish ancestors- who obviously converted...but i feel, maybe i wouldn't be welcomed at any Jewish festivities...i don't know...

Answer 7

I wouldn't mind. I think it would be very interesting to participate in. Unfortunately, I don't know any Jewish families. In my part of the country they a very small minority. I would like to know more Jewish people. I've only met a handful through work.

Answer 8

i would and my motivation would be to experience the history
behind my religion as well as the history of the jewish too.

Answer 9

Planning to. I want to go for the Christian fellowship.

Answer 10

Not mine.
