THE SIX ELEMENTS OF THE TRADITIONAL PASSOVER Roasted lamb represented the memory of the lamb sacrificed by the Israelites the night before their flight from Egypt. The blood of the lamb was applied to the doorposts and the lintel of the house to cover the firstborn against death. Matzah the unleavened bread signified that the Israelites didn t have time to wait for the yeast in the bread to rise because they had to be ready to move quickly at God s command. Saltwater represented the tears shed in Egypt during the time of slavery and captivity.
THE SIX ELEMENTS OF THE TRADITIONAL PASSOVER Maror bitter herbs that reminded of the bitterness of slavery and a life of bondage. Charoseth a fruit puree that pointed to the clay or mortar used to make bricks for Pharoah. Four Cups of Red Wine stood for God s promises, the bloodshed that would bring freedom from bondage and complete joy. These were the cups of sanctification, praise, redemption, and acceptance.
