Holy Week Passover Seder connects Catholics to the Last Supper, Jews
Passover refers to God's deliverance of the Jews from
slavery in Egypt as described in the Old Testament Book of Exodus (12:13). On
the eve of the first day of Passover, Jewish families gather in their homes to
celebrate a meal and prayer service called the Passover Seder.
The connection to Christianity's defining event is evident.
When Catholics gather to commemorate the passion, death and resurrection of
Christ, the celebration begins by recalling Christ and his Apostles at the Last
Supper, which was a Passover Seder meal. ...

The Passover Meal: A Ritual for Christian Home
The Passover meal carried on the learning tradition established by God through Moses when he commanded his people to commemorate his loving kindness towards them in the Exodus. "And when your children ask you, 'What does this ritual mean?', you will tell them, 'It is the sacrifice of the Passover in honour of Yahweh who passed over the houses of the sons of Israel in Egypt, and struck Egypt but spared our houses" (Exodus 12, 27).
The Jews were directed by Moses to gather in family and neighbourly clusters to eat and recall together, "And on that day you will explain to your son, 'This is because of what Yahweh did for me when I came out of Egypt' " (Exodus 13, 8). The lesson of God's freeing the Israelites from slavery was to be taught in the fullness of both intellectual knowledge and the warmth of the heart surrounded by loved ones, family and friends. ...
