Its
Passover time, and I found out that Passover 2008 is on April 19. Among my friends, only Jude is a Jew. And I remember in school, he was quite busy during this time. He had to observe a fast being the first born. And he use to mention
Passover Seder, which we had no clue about. I was pondering over religions and associated customs for some reason, and researched about
passover celebrations. Finally, over the Internet I found what Passover Seder is all about. Passover Seder is the Jewish ritual feast held on the first night of the
Jewish Passover. The
Passover Seder Plate contains six food items that are symbolic of the occasion. Six items include:
Maror and chazeret – Bitter Herbs
Chasoret- Made of chopped walnuts, grated apples, cinnamon, and sweet red wine
Karpas- Parsely, boiled potato or celery is used.
Z'roa – a roasted lamb or chicken wing, symbolizing the sacrifice.
Beitzah- A roasted egg.
Theres also a special bread called matzot and a bowl of salt water.
Thats what
Passover Seder consists of.
Although I still do not know the symbolic references of the food items, but food being my all time favorite field of interest, I managed to know whats on the passover menu. Next time, I meet Jude, I can surprise him with my knowledge of
Passover Seder Meal. Till then, I wish
Happy Passover to all with these
Passover cards.
