Looking for some ideas for fun ways to celebrate the Bible holidays of Passover and Unleavened Bread? While these times both have great spiritual significance and we would certainly do well to spend time in prayer, worship, and Bible study, as well as perform other acts of service as a way to honor the Creator, I think it's also good to remind ourselves that it's also okay to do things just for fun. These are times of joy after all! Here are some ways to spark joy this Biblical holiday season.
Red Sea Crossing Smoothie Bowls
Why not make something delicious that also reminds you of one of the greatest miracles ever?
Lamb shaped things.
Use a lamb cookie cutter on everything from cheese to apple slices. I made cutout cookies in the shape of lambs to go with my blood on the doorpost Passover dessert.
Blood on the Doorpost Decoration from Torah Sisters
Use red cloth over your doorpost to remind your family and visitors of the Exodus story. A red cloth on the mantle can also be a reminder.
Matzah Toffee from Smitten Kitchen
Try your hand at making this traditional Passover snack! It's easier than you think.
First Fruits begins the count of the omer, where we are fifty days from celebrating Shavuot. Making your own counter like this one can be a fun way to keep this command. Or try the Scratch Off Omer Counter.
Have a taco night!
Did you know that most tortillas are unleavened? That means having a taco night can be part of your Unleavened Bread celebrations!

Print this one off or make your own list of things you want to do during this feast celebration!
Make this any size you want! If you have a square shaped box, all you need is crepe paper and candy or prizes to fill it with!
Moses Bible Crafts from Mrs. Jones' Creation Station
Hear me out on this - Bible school crafts don't just have to be for kids. If you have good memories of doing projects like these in Vacation Bible School, you might enjoy revisiting them now! Feel free take inspiration from these and make something more chic...you could write out the ten commandments in calligraphy or decorate a candleholder with a reminder of the burning bush from Exodus or make a miniature empty tomb out of wood. The possibilities are endless!
Try a new topping on unleavened bread.
You can use homemade or store bought. Instead of plain matzo or matzah pizza, try topping yours with hummus and and seasonal vegetables (as seen here with watermelon radishes), peanut butter and jelly, cream cheese with salmon or roasted vegetables, or even a fried egg.
Matzah Toffee Ice Cream Sundaes
You might not want UB week to end with desserts like this!
I hope you all have an amazing time celebrating these Biblical holidays! I'd love to hear what fun things you do to celebrate!
