You definitely have the right to laugh at me for the following display of chronic ignorance:

I'd always known we ate lamb on Easter, and that it was connected with Passover traditions.

I'd also always known that Jesus was the Lamb of God who gave us His flesh to eat on Passover.

What I had never connected was that the lamb we eat on Easter symbolizes the Lamb we also eat on Easter.

This was an amazing revelation for me, which only occurred because my host mom said they eat "cordero" on Easter, which made me think of the words "Cordero de Dios, que quitas el pecado de mundo," which we say during Mass.

And all the sudden, I just realized, we do! We do eat el Cordero on Easter!

Anyway, I don't know why it took me over 20 years to realize that.

I'm praying for you!
