St John says it was on the eve, the others say it was a Passover meal.

I had always understood that the peculiar thing about our Lord celebrating the Passover on the eve of Passover preparation day was precisely that there could be no lamb, since the sacrifice would take place that year on (Good) Friday, which St John tells us was Passover Prep day.

Much much better on many fronts: able to choose own picture-we opted for a Fra Frangelico image, we are able to print child's name and quickly correct if mistake made, we also have a drawing of the Abbey on the certificate, it costs pennies, so much cheaper and more beautiful than anything available commercially.Mariannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12211663128173535773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-61440479720333643422009-03-07T20:21:00.000+00:002009-03-07T20:21:00.000+00:00Try http://www.sacramentals.com/1stCommandConfGift...Try <BR/>http://www.sacramentals.com/1stCommandConfGifts.htm<BR/><BR/>American firm but look interesting.Fr Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12268217068582602495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35539648.post-20543453870745770752009-03-07T18:22:00.000+00:002009-03-07T18:22:00.000+00:00You could always try printing your own... colour p...You could always try printing your own... colour printers are pretty good these days.
