After Luke 22:7-13
He sends them to find
a place, a room for the meal,
the meal to remember
the passing of the angel
of death over the dwellings,
sparing those with a splash
of lamb’s blood on the door.
They gather each year,
ss commanded, with family,
a quiet, somber gathering
to remember the escape
from death, a celebration
of death avoided, death
redeemed, life secured.
They find the room,
as directed, furnished
and prepared for the meal.
They gather to remember
the sacrifice of the lamb.
