What's better than one Holy Day? How about a whole week!? This is one of two feasts that are a week long. The instructions for Unleavened Bread are simple: Rest on the first and last day, eat unleavened bread, and do not have anything leavened in your homes.

There is a lot of symbolism that can be seen with this Feast. Unleavened bread is typically made to be very flat and pierced with a fork or other tool to keep it from puffing up. Jesus/Yeshua was pierced and said at the Last Supper (mentioned in the Passover comic) to take the bread as it represents His body.

The removal of leaven from the homes can be seen also as removing things from your spiritual house. There are two schools of thought when it comes to this. One is that leaven represents sin and you are removing that from every nook and cranny. The other is that leaven represents traditions/teaching that may be about Scripture. When looking into how leaven is used in Scripture, I lean toward the second thought. In Matthew 13:33, Yeshua compares the kingdom of heaven to leaven. This is obviously a good representation and wouldn't imply sin. Using this view and looking at verses like Matthew 16:6, where Yeshua warns of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees, it isn't a warning against their sin, but their traditions. In Mark 7, Yeshua confronts some of the Pharisees on these traditions and how they forsake God's Law to observe them.

Because Passover and Unleavened Bread are intwined together, sometimes Unleavened Bread week is just called Passover week. I've also mentioned in my Passover and 2nd Passover comics events and prophetic significance of the week already.

Our family's observance usually involves some creative meals including a lasagna made from unleavened bread, some chocolate covered unleavened bread, peanut butter and turkey bacon sandwiches, as well as just having home made unleavened bread on hand to eat whenever.
