Unleavened Bread

COGwriter
Today, I received an email from the United Church of God that discussed the feast of unleavened bread.  Many who profess Christ have never even heard of this biblical period.  And most of those who have consider it to be a Jewish practice.
Notice God’s instructions in the Hebrew scriptures:

The inappropriately named &#8220;Christianity Today&#8221; has several articles that endorse the Catholic holiday of Lent.  But one started off fairly interestingly that I would like to quote here:

Three authors weigh the merits of observing Lent.

As Black History month ends, I thought it might be appropriate to quote some writings from the late Martin Luther King Jr.  Here is some of what he wrote on Mithraism, dated November 23, 1949:
In Avesta, Mithra was the genius of celestial light&#8230;The doctrine of the immortality of the soul was another view which was [...]]]></description>
