As close as I can tell the child’s family may be celebrating the Passover and are using the Friday, April 7th as preparation for the Sabbath on Saturday and for the coming days of the Passover beginning Monday.
In 2017, Passover will be celebrated from April 10–18
Passover (Pesach) 2017 will be celebrated Monday April 10 to Tuesday April 18. April 7 Friday at sunset begins the Sabbath before Passover.

Sabbath Before Passover – 2017
The Bread of Life
How are you going to eat Jesus' flesh and drink His blood?
Fred R. Coulter—April 8, 2017
Greetings, brethren! Welcome to the Sabbath before the Passover 2017. This Sabbath we're going to have a special study in understanding more about eating and drinking Christ, which is the very center of the Passover service.
• What does it mean?
• How do we understand it?
Tomorrow night we're going to have the Passover. And the Passover is the most important thing to keep us in good standing with God, the most important thing for us to understand about God.
