The second part of the prince of Egypt focuses on the Exodus. On this important night, the Israelites gathered as God had told them to. Each family sprinkled the blood of a sacrificial lamb on the doorposts of their house. Then the families prepared and ate roasted lamb with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. They ate with their sandals on their feet and their staffs in their hands, ready for flight.
Friday, March 25 is the feast day of The Annunciation of our Lord. In Luke's Gospel, we read that the angel Gabriel came to Mary and asked her to be the Mother of Jesus. When Mary said yes to God, Jesus was formed in her womb, and she became a mother-one who nourishes, protects, cares for, and most of all loves her children. A herb associated with Mary is the one that bears her name-rosemary.
So for my treat I made unleavened bread with rosemary.
