We eat coconut pyramids to remind us of the straw and mud bricks that the Israelites made to build Pharoh's treasure cities.
Exodus 1:14 ...and they made their lives bitter with hard labor in mortar and bricks and at all kinds of labor in the field, all their labors which they rigorously imposed on them.
However, it's no hardship to eat them...they're yummy. (Although I'll probably not be saying that by day 7!)
Now you have me *really* fascinated... are you Jewish? How wonderful to celebrate Passover?
