Passover (Door with Blood ), Pesach ornament idea

All entryways were daubed with blood. The people of Israel were about to be birthed into a new people, a free people, no longer slaves of others. It would be a long infancy – once birth was assured.
Exodus tells of Blood on the doors
"They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. (...) It is the passover of the Lord. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt.

Shabbat Hagadol
The Shabbat which precedes Passover is called Shabbat haGadol, the Great Sabbath, for many and varied reason

The Torah commanded them to take their lambs and tie them to the bedpost. When they did so, their Egyptian neighbors saw this and asked:
"What is the lamb for?"
The Children of Israel answered: "It is to be slaughtered as a Passover sacrifice as G‑d has commanded us."


If don't have time to search for a reclaimed piece of wood and work on it, look for unfinished pieces of wood doors . Then paint it and apply felt as blood.
