June 8, 2025 – 2 Chronicles 35 – Josiah’s Passover

Once King Josiah had eliminated idolatry from the land, repaired the Temple and re-established the courses of the Levites for service, he arranged for the celebration of Passover. It was a momentous event, having been so long with the feasts or even Temple liturgy being neglected or outright banned. “Surely there was not holden such a passover from the days of the judges that judged Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, nor of the kings of Judah.” (2 Kings 23:22)
