God commanded the Israelites to keep the Passover festival (Exodus ch.12). In giving us its details, God incorporated observances that commemorate various aspects of the events of the Exodus, such as the unleavened bread (matzah) that we must eat on Passover, and which our forefathers baked in their haste to leave Egypt. The bitter herbs (of the Seder meal) are reminiscent of the harshness of the slavery, the salt water is similar to tears, the haroset-food is similar to bricklayers' mortar, etc. See also:
