Dr. Brant Pitre will take you step by step through what the Passover sacrifice and the Passover meal were like at the time of Jesus. In this riveting journey into the Jewish roots of Christianity, Dr. Pitre explores questions such as:
What was Passover like at the time of Jesus?
• What exactly did Peter and John do when they went into Jerusalem to “prepare the Passover”?
• Why were the Passover lambs “crucified” in the shape of a cross?
• Why were four cups of wine required for every Passover?
• What were the stages of the Passover “Order”? How do they correspond to the “Order” of the Mass?
• What psalms did Jesus sing at the Last Supper? How do they reveal the mystery of his Passion?
• Did Jesus actually finish the Last Supper? When did he drink the fourth Passover cup?

Jesus and the Jewish Roots of the Eucharist

- No sign up required
In this exciting talk, Dr. Pitre shines the light of the Old Testament and ancient Judaism on the words and deeds of Jesus to reveal the amazingly Jewish roots of the Eucharist. Using his in-depth knowledge of Jewish messianic expectations, Dr. Pitre shows how the hope for a New Exodus and the coming of the Messiah proves that Jesus really did intend to give us the Eucharist, and it is nothing less than the gift of Himself, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity.
In this presentation, you will explore the Eucharist as the New Passover, the New Manna from Heaven, and mysterious New ‘Bread of the Presence.’ If you are looking to deepen your faith in and understanding of the inexhaustible treasure that is the Eucharist, then this talk is for you.
