A Passover Seder in the Light of Christ

BLESSING OVER THE UNLEAVENED BREAD (MATZOT)

(The three matzos in the “Unity” are held up. )

LEADER: Baruch attah Adonai, Eloheynu Melech Haoolom,
Hamotzee Lechem Min Ha-oretz.

ALL: Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the universe,
Who brings forth bread from the earth.

(These are almost the same words we hear at Mass as the priest raises the unleavened host.)

(After placing the unity back on the table, the table leader breaks small pieces
from the top and middle matzos and distributes them.)

Baruch Attah Adonai Eloheinu Melech haoolam,
asher kidshanu b’mitzvootav
v’tzivanu al aochilat matzah.

ALL: Blessed are You, O Lord our God, King of the universe,
Who made us holy by His law,
And commanded us about the eating of unleavened bread.
(All eat the matzo.)

Previous: Second Cup       Next: Bitter Herbs
