I am reliably informed by Cllr. Andrew Johnson - who is an archaeologist, amongst many other attributes - that the Passover dinner commemorates the Jews fleeing from bondage in Egypt, 3,500 years ago, rather than the 3,000 that I had written in my previous posting last night.
According to Andrew, most scholars date the Exodus to about mid-15th Century BCE.
The Jerusalem Post newspaper, has a fascinating article on this HERE.
I have never been good at Maths!!

Happy Easter to you and Vanda too!
ReplyDeleteI posted the following on a BBC Have Your Say topic about the relevance of Easter earlier:
"Like most Christians, I rarely respond to questions about spiritual issues on HYS because the BBC's ethos seems so anti-Christian.
BBC moderators publish the most appallingly offensive - and at times hateful - posts about Christianity which they would not allow in respect of any other religion and which I believe must at times breach the law on hate crimes.
Yet a number of my reasonable responses to such posts, very similar to this one I'm making now, have been rejected."
The BBC's response:
COMMENT STATUS: Rejected
One example The sort of anti-Christian posts I've seen on BBC's Have Your Say:
"Christians burn people"
I made an official complaint about this and other equally offensive posts, yet the BBC did not remove these.
