Passover Blessing

In
April
We remember
Our lives as slaves
Long  ago  in Egypt
Eat unleavened bread
to   commemorate
the    Exodus
And we pray
for others
to be
free

 A  t a h

 M e lech

Yom Tov 
Blessed
Art Thou
O,   Lord
Our  God
King of the
Uni v erse
Who  Hast
Commanded
Us to kindle
the light of 
the holiday

And so to the origins of this yearly festival. Very appropriate. I love the thin candle of words and the words themselves, resonate with antiquity.

I have to echo Susie and Kerry and everyone else--both presentation and history are so well done and so sincere. I tried to do a skinny candle like that but it was a miserable failure--really nicely done, LM.

The language, the curvaceous candle, all of it is splendid
