Wednesday our homeschool group learned about the Passover seder. It's a holiday meal at which the story of the escape from slavery is told. If I had a better camera yesterday you would be able to see what was on Mic's plate. A mixture of chopped nuts wine (we used honey) and fruit symbolizes the mortar that the slaves used in their construction work. A dab of horseradish tastes as biting and bitter as slavery. Green herbs mean springtime and renewal. An egg represents new life. And of course there is matzo, the flat, hard bread that the slaves carried with them into the desert. This information is from doverpublications.com
