Unleavened Bread.... for rememberance of the bondage that their ancestors went through.
Maror (Bitter herbs)......To remember the bitterness of Slavery
Hard boiled Eggs.......To represent the Life cycle ....Birth and Death
Roast Lamb....In place of the sacrificial Lamb
Chopped Apples, nuts,etc......To remind them of the clay that was used to make Pharo's bricks
Parcely, Lettuce,Greens,etc.....To remind us of Spring....new growth and new Life.
A Goblet of Wine left for Elijah. To be left untouched for Elijah to come join us. He is the only one alowed to drink from this goblet.
True this meal may not be the tastiest you or I've ever eaten, but can we say that we are worthy to set to the table? Can we remember the slavery and bondage of those who went before us, and strive to do better in our lives? Can we shake off the negativeness and hatrid of this world and begin NOW to enter into a new SPRING, new growth and new life? The chair next to me is empty ....my friend ....will you join me?
