Chinese new year and jewish passover. Today is chinese new year s eve and here in taiwan that s a big deal. Chinese new year and the passover. Why is red such an auspicious color for the chinese anyway.
It is interesting to find traces of the jewish passover event in the celebrating of the chinese new year. Each week as we come to church to worship we remember what jesus the passover lamb has done for us he said. The first thing in common it has with rosh hashanah the jewish new year is that it follows the lunar cycle.
To make matters even more interesting the chinese word for year is nian. While jewish people also keep sabbath in the seven days from passover. This friday will begin the chinese new year.
Chaw linked this back to how the chinese should celebrate their new year. Each week as we come to church to worship we remember what jesus the passover lamb has done for us he said. Chaw linked this back to how the chinese should celebrate their new year.
By putting on the attitude of hope. Did ancient chinese know this event in the time of solomon. May i share my observations about chinese new year with you.
However it is interesting to note that there is a debate in the talmud as to when the world was created and when in fact is the new year. For the jewish passover the blood of a lamb was applied to the top and posts of the main door so that the angel of death would pass over and spare the life of the firstborn. For the jews the passover serves as a constant reminder that freedom and deliverance will come.
