Three Matzos Represent.....

On Passover, it is common to have three matzos at the Passover Seder. Most Messianics claim that this stands for the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. They also try to mark this as an original practice of Jesus' followers. However, I was talking about this with my friend Rabbi Stuart Federow and he made an important point. We do not see the custom of three matzos until around 1650. There is no historical evidence to tie it into the practice of either the Jews or Jesus' followers from 2000 years ago. So, it is clearly a later Jewish practice that has no connection to Jesus and his followers or any similar Messianic claim.
