from Egypt and Christ's redemption? of the world?
It is both Good Friday and Passover today. From a proper from the Easter Vigil:
O God, Whose ancient miracles we see shining also in our days, whilst by the water of regeneration Thou dost operate for the salvation of the Gentiles, that which by the power of Thy right hand Thou didst confer upon one people, by delivering them from the Egyptian persecution: grant that all the nations of the world may become the children of Abraham, and partake of the dignity of the people of Israel. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Who with Thee liveth and reigneth in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. Amen.
I scarcely think there more beautiful symbolism than redemption through water (Red Sea or baptism; pillar of fire or paschal candle) within the whole realm of religion.
Andre, why is it that I seem to think you've never taken a class in literature? The Odyssey and the Aeneid are fictional as well, but aren't there profound parallels. Now either answer the question, or have the humility to admit that it is beyond your league.
