Description
This image tied for 1st Place in a contest here on FAA entitled 'Jewish Christian Holy Week' in April 2020. Ir also tied for 2nd Place in a contest entitled 'Passover' in March 2021. This image, and my two other Passover images, also tied with several others for 3rd place in a 'Passover' image contest here on FAA in April 2015.
The Passover sedar plate will hold the symbols traditionally associated with the story of the Jew's exodus from Egypt. It serves as the centerpiece of the seder table. The seder plate traditionally holds five or six items, each of which symbolizes a part (or multiple parts) of the Passover story:
The small dish in the foreground will hold Karpas--"a green vegetable, most often parsley. Karpas represents the initial flourishing of the Israelites during the first years in Egypt. At the end of the biblical book of Genesis, Joseph moves his family to Egypt, where he becomes the second-in-command to Pharaoh. Protected by Joseph's exalted status, the family lives safely for several generations and proliferate greatly, becoming a great nation. The size of this growing population frightens the new Pharaoh, who enslaves the Israelites, lest they make war on Egypt. Even under slave conditions, the Israelites continue to reproduce, and Pharaoh eventually decrees that all baby boys be killed. In the course of the seder, we dip the karpas in salt water (Ashkenazi custom) or vinegar (Sephardi custom) in order to taste both the hope of new birth and the tears that the Israelite slaves shed over their condition." - Source: http://www.myjewishlearning.com/holidays/Jewish_Holidays/Passover/The_Seder/Seder_Plate_and_Table.shtml
