Origen on the Christian Festival of Unleavened Bread in Alexandria Within a Generation of Secret Mark [Part 2]

This is another proof that the first addition to Secret Mark reflects the existence of a Christian Festival of Unleavened Bread at Alexandria in the late second century.

And the flesh roasted with fire is to be eaten with unleavened bread (cf. Ex. xii. 8). For the Word of God is not just flesh; for He Himself says "I am the bread of life" (John 6:48) and This is the bread which comes down from heaven ... (John 6:50) [Commentary on John 10:99 - 100]
