As we begin the Days of Unleavened Bread this year, I believe it is important that we know its history and importance. I believe that for us to fully appreciate the meaning and value of these days, we need to understand that it pre-dates the time when God revealed the Holydays to ancient Israel in Exodus 13 or Leviticus 23. So, as we celebrate this Holyday together today, let’s look at the history of this annual Festival and learn more about the plan of God and why we observe it today.
