Jesus and the disciples are celebrating the Passover Meal, a major feast day in the Jewish faith and history. The Passover commemorates the “passing over” of the angel of death who would strike down the first born of the Egyptians. This was the tenth and final plague that Moses would bestow on the Egyptians to force the Pharaoh to release the Israelites from their slavery.
Every year the Jews celebrated Passover as they were celebrating their freedom from slavery and the protection from God. The last meal that Jesus spent with his disciples is believed to have been a Passover celebration. From this Passover meal the stage would be set for the development of the Eucharist. the Eucharist grew out a meal celebrating freedom from oppression.
