God told Moses that the
Passover should be celebrated through all time. Twelve hundred and fifty
years later Jesus celebrated the Passover at the Last Supper. Our Mass is a
celebration of the Passover.
Now, while we identify the
Passover with that last meal of the Hebrews before their leaving Egypt, the
term was broadened to take in two farther Passovers: the passing through the
Red Sea, and the passing over the Jordan into the Promised Land.
When we refer to this as the
Paschal Season, it is all three Passovers combined that we that we are
re-enacting.
