In biblical times, all the way back before the Babylonian exile, and possibly even during the wanderings in the desert. Passover was one of the 3 pilgrimage holidays, when all Jews (or at least the men) were to go to Jerusalem. On the eve of Passover, before sunset, each family was to bring a lamb to the Temple for slaughter, and then take most of the meat home for dinner. The Seder meal began as the festive meal where the Passover sacrifice was eaten "with unleavened bread and bitter herbs." After the destruction of the Temple in Jerusalem, the Seder meal became a way to remember the sacrificial system, and over the years, a fixed liturgy for the meal was hammered out and formalized, remembering not only the meal itself but the discussion among the Pharisees about how to celebrate the meal.
