Actually, the question is asked incorrectly. It should be, "What does parsley symbolize on Passover?" And the answer is that parsley symbolizes the tears shed by the Israelites when they were slaves, as well as the tears shed by all of us throughout life's difficulties.
It is set on the table during the Passover seder (the first and second nights of passover).
The seder plate represents key elements of the Passover story and traditions. The various items on the plate symbolize different aspects of the Exodus from Egypt, such as the bitter herbs representing the bitterness of slavery and the matzah representing the haste of the Israelites leaving Egypt. It serves as a visual and symbolic centerpiece for the Passover seder meal.
during a passover seder.
The ritual foods at a Passover seder are Matzah (unleavened bread), Maror (bitter herbs), Karpas (a green vegetable, usually parsley), Beitzah (a roasted, hard boiled egg), Haroset (a mixture of apples, nuts, cinnamon, wine) and Z'roa (a shank bone, usually represented by a turkey neck or a beet). Four cups of wine are traditional as well. The main course can be almost anything, as long as it complies with Passover dietary laws.
The holiday of Passover officially begins on the evening of Monday, March 25th (in 2013). Most people who celebrate Passover will have a seder either on the 25th or the 26th.
