This week, we revisit a classic episode, asking the question, Why is there a second Holy Day at the end of the Days of Unleavened Bread? We’ll jump back in anew at the very end for a closing thought, but we know many of you are new listeners to the podcast, and we hope you enjoy this episode from much earlier in the podcast’s history! And we hope, as well, that you have an edifying and uplifting wrap-up to the Days of Unleavened Bread this weekend.

We hope your Days of Unleavened Bread have been wonderfully flat, tasty, and spiritually profitable! This episode of the podcast has us meditating on the question of why God might have included a second high day at the end of the Days of Unleavened Bread and some (not all!) of the lessons He might want us to take from the events of that amazing Exodus event, thousands of years ago, connected to this day. We pray it’s profitable for you! (We refer briefly to the previous podcast about Passover thoughts concerning youth in the Church. That’s available here.)
