Unleavened Bread is a seven-day Festival commemorating Israel’s departure from Egypt and their wandering in the desert. It symbolizes our call to live a holy life. The keynote of this

celebration is a communal gathering on the first and seventh days (which are yearly Sabbaths) and ridding our homes and diets of all leaven.

​

When the Israelites left Egypt, they didn't have time for their bread to rise. Eating unleavened bread reminds us of their quick escape and their hard times in Egypt. It also helps us think about what God will do for us in the future. As Christians, we remember Jesus' death and resurrection, which saves us from sin. During the Seder, some Jewish people break the unleavened bread into three pieces and hide one, which reminds us of Jesus being buried and rising again.
