Rescue through suffering and sacrifice is a universal theme that finds a particularly focused emphasis in the Hebrew and Christian traditions. The single word “Passover” evokes strong sacred memory in both traditions.

The goodness of God to us
We know the high cost.

A young lamb suffers
For the safety of your young
And your survival.

And we wonder at myst’ry
