But where in there does it say we're careful not to mention anything about the Messiah?

I didn't say that. What I said was that, even though you were doing a Jewish ritual, you had attached Messianic themes to the actions. And that these things were not explicit, but were "understood" to give an overriding theme to the actions and words.

Let me rephrase my apparent poor choice of words then so they may withstand your meticulous critisism. We try and have a 1st century traditional Jewish passover seder. Its patterned after the one Jesus celebrated for probably about 33 years.
