It has been thousands of years since the God of Israel commanded the Israelites in Goshen to paint their doorposts with the blood of a lamb so that the Angel of Death might Pass-Over their homes on his way to kill all the first born of Egypt. It was also at this time that the Children of Israel kept a feast unto their God, while on the run. In their haste, they did not leaven the bread. They tasted again of this unusual fare in the wilderness when Manna, (angel's food), fell from the heavens to satisfy their hunger.
Every year, on the fourteenth day of the Israelite month of Abib, Passover begins at the INWWM. Passover and the feast of Unleavened bread are kept in the same manner and practice as they were originally commanded in the days of Moses.
These ordinances can be found in:
Exodus 12 & 34
Leviticus 23
Numbers 9.
Exodus 12; 26-27
26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, “What mean ye by this service?”
27 That ye shall say, “It is the sacrifice of the Lord's Passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when He smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses”. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.
