The Benedict Year › Reading Backwards from the Pascha › Unit 4 · The Sea
Week 15 · 4–8 January 2027 · Hilary
The lamb in Egypt
Unit 4 · The Sea: The largest unit and the heart of the year.
Session A · the reading
About 55 minutes. Open and read aloud before any framing: no introduction, no “today we’re looking at”. Scripture first, then the Father.
- Exodus 12:1–28
Session B · the argument
About 35 minutes, on another day. Never both in one sitting.
What is it for?. The blood on the doorposts. The text answers (Exodus 12:13).
Video. Passover
The Tile Board
Add a card: The blood on the doorposts, with the passage and today’s date. Pencil a line to another card only if the child sees one.
Books this week
Optional: one piece of media
The Prince of Egypt (1998). Watched together, with nothing said about why it was chosen; how the list was made.
Exodus 12 will be the first reading on Holy Thursday. Don’t say so.
