Passover and Easter


One of the most beautiful times of year has come and gone again. Passover was lovely again this year. We enjoyed the company of dear friends and the edification of sweet fellowship.


Holy Week fell in line with Confederate Jasmine season, so a few vines intermingled with the grapes and palm branches this year. A little bit of Southern hospitality never hurt, did it? ;-)


I so love the sweet symbolism supplied in the Passover seder. It's such a perfect preparation for Easter Sunday!


Our candles did an excellent job of burning through the night, creating a neat bit of photography while they were at it!


Saturday night, we dyed some eggs with lovely spring colors. Is there anything more beautiful than an Easter Sunday meal with colorful deviled eggs? This year our dear neighbors joined us for dinner!


We also whipped up a batch of Resurrection Cookies -- a favorite tradition. We so loved watching Emmy Xiang continue to learn more about our Savior and His glorious Sacrifice. We pray that the Holy Spirit would continue to draw her to Himself! Save her, Lord, we pray!


Our traditional family picture is always interesting without someone to take it for us!


Daddy and his daughters! :)

Up next, a fun comparison post!
