Peter's liberation from prison follows the pattern of #passover. See Acts 12.
v1 - Like Pharaoh, King Herod feared a growing population of people who were "different".
vs3-5 - Like the Hebrews, Peter was unjustly put in bondage.
v8 - A messenger told Peter to don his cloak & sandals & follow him.
v8 - As with the Hebrews, the angel told Peter to leave quickly.
v10 - God protected Peter from the prison guards during his escape.
v10 - God parted the prison gates like the Red Sea so Peter could escape.
v22 - The people worshiped Herod like a god, like Pharaoh.
v23 - God struck down Herod as he struck down Pharaoh & the Egyptian gods.

"On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you." Exodus 12:16
The first and last days of Unleavened Bread are some of the few days that are "Sabbaths" (even if it falls on a Wednesday!) that also specifically lists cooking as OK. So maybe we'll do a BBQ tomorrow. Or a family picnic. Or both. So many fun ideas!😎

In ancient Israel, #passover was frequently accompanied by mass, national revivals. King Hezekiah threw a massive Passover feast, a national BBQ with 2000 bulls and 17000 sheep, but that was still nothing compared to Josiah's Great Passover. He had 37600 lambs and 3800 bulls! He destroyed pagan altars throughout the land and then celebrated Passover.
We can't eat a real Passover away from Jerusalem, but this is still a good principle. Don't eat the Passover unworthily. If you don't think you should be keeping Passover and Unleavened Bread because it's too Jewish or too...whatever... then don't. Pray about it, meditate on it, and consider keeping it next year.
Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty concerning the body and blood of the Lord.
1 Corinthians 11:27
