Last year in 2022 the Passover Festival was celebrated from the evening of April 15th until April 23rd and was an important religious reminder to all Jewish people of the Biblical story of how the Israelites escaped from the tyranny of the Egyptian people. Each Jewish Family had their own traditions and rituals usually all of them including Seder Plates which are very special serving dishes that six very specific items of food are placed upon. The escape from the wicked Pharoah and their lives as slaves was called the Exodus, and religious, Jewish families get together every Passover and celebrate for eight days, giving thanks to God with special prayers and rituals.
The Passover includes, specific remembrance of Jewish History and Homeland, themes of Springtime, Family, and discussions on worthwhile causes, including injustice, poverty and slavery. The religious meals are called Seders and incorporate six very specific food items that remind the Families eating them together that the Lamb of God sent Moses to save them, of the bitterness of their tears during their lives as slaves, and the joy of escape and freedom, as well as themes of Springtime and new beginnings.
All the items eaten during a Seder meal are served on the traditional Seder plate and symbolically represent everything that happened to the Israelites during their years of slavery, their escape from Egypt and the new beginnings they experienced when they emerged from the desert.
