Passover Full Moon

Last night I looked out of my kitchen window shortly after Passover had begun at sundown. There it was. The Passover Full Moon. It was a cold, clear night, and in this picture you can see the moonlight reflected off the snow on the forest floor. What you cannot see ~ which seems appropriate ~ is the large cross standing in the shadows.

On the night that our Lord ate his Last Supper with his disciples, the cross was looming. But first, this. He said, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer.” (Luke 22:15) Bread. Wine. It was the beginning of the end which was the beginning.
