Passover is an 8 Day holiday (7 days inside Israel or for Reform Jews). On the first and second nights, the family holds a ritual meal called a Seder (סדר) during which they retell the story of the Exodus from Egypt.

During this ritual, certain symbolic foods are discussed and/or eaten, such as:

  • Bitter Herbs (Maror)
  • A Roasted Egg (Beitzah)
  • A mixture of Apples, nuts, and honey (Haroset)
  • A Shank Bone (Zeroa)
  • A Green Vegetable (Karpas)
  • Unleavened Bread (Matzah)
  • Salt Water (Mei Meluakh)

During the remainder of the week, special dietary laws are followed, which prohibit the eating of leavening and most grains, except for Matzah.

Is lord's table the same as last Passover?

The Lord's Table, first celebrated in conjunction with Passover, is not the same as "last passover." The last Passover has yet to be celebrated; it is still being celebrated to this day. Jesus said He did not come to destroy the law but to fulfill the law. Celebrating and observing Passover was part of the law. The first Lord's Table (Supper) did not put an end to Passover or its observation.
