The ditch over which the Passover lambs are slaughtered. |
ceremonial plaza where each family brings its lamb, the high priest reads from Exodus, all the lambs are slaughtered over a ditch, they are cleaned, the offal and wool is burned and the lambs roasted in six large pits. At midnight each father takes the lamb home to his family and they eat the passover meal. Our leader, Rodney, had been to observe this ceremony a few years ago so he could fill in the details.
