The Lamb or Goat must be roasted with fire, read Exodus 12:9, “Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water (meaning the Lamb or Goat must not be cooked in water with seasoning), but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.” The Lamb or Goat must be cooked / roasted whole, because the bones are not to be broken, read Exodus 12:46. If it is possible that you can fulfill this scriptures then do so, if not, then get the meat in small pieces Judges 5:11, and roast the Passover meal.
Note: If the Passover falls on the regular Sabbath (Friday to Saturday sundown), then it must be cooked on that day to keep the Passover. The ordinances state that the Passover meal must be prepared on that day. The Passover is the ONLY High Holy Day that if it falls on the regular Sabbath, cooking is allowed.
Have a small service, beginning and ending with the reading of the Lord’s Prayer, Matthew 6:9-13.
Read the scriptures pertaining to the Passover: Leviticus 23:5-8, Psalms chapters 105 and 106, Matthew 26:7-13, Matthew 26:26-29, I Corinthians 5:7-13 and Exodus 12:1-11.
(Explanation of the Passover meal).
Before eating, send up a prayer to bless the food and drinks.
Passover is to be celebrated with gladness and mirth. Music and games can be played for this festival celebration.
No BUYING or SELLING is allowed on Passover. Therefore, all food must be purchased the day before. If possible, try to get off from work along with your children from school. These are days to be taken to honor the Most High.
