During the Seder, we keep the essential mitzva and customs of handing Jewish traditions down to the next generation, with the traditional Seder foods and the ceremony of reading the Passover Haggadah which retells the events of the Exodus.
The Jews eat the Passover Seder meal on the night of Passover (Pesach). It makes little difference whether Passover begins on Shabbat or on a weekday. Note that there are festive meals on every Shabbat, but they are not called "seder" and the foods are different.
It is set on the table during the Passover seder (the first and second nights of passover).
The word 'seder' literally means 'order'. During the seder we recount the story of the Exodus which is an integral part of the holiday. Conducting the Seder ceremony is in keeping with the command (Exodus ch.12 and 13) to celebrate the Exodus on the night of Passover and to retell the events.
