The red wine at the seder symbolises HaShem's four statements of redemption in the Torah:

1. "I took you out"

2. "I rescued you"

3. "I liberated you"

4. "I took you to Me for a people"

The wine represents redemption while the colour of the red wine reminds us of the blood of the children killed for the Pharaoh.

What does red wine represent during passover?

For the four cups of wine at the Passover Seder, red wine is preferable. This is based on Proverbs 23:31), "Do not look at the wine as it reddens," which implies that red wine is the best kind.Red wine also commemorates the blood of circumcision and the blood of the Paschal sacrifice. The Israelites were commanded to circumcise all their males before the Exodus.Red wine also reminds us of the drops of blood that were put on the doorposts and lintels, as a sign when God passed over the homes of the Israelites, not permitting the destruction to smite them (Exodus 12).Red wine also serves as a reminder of the blood of the Jewish children whom Pharaoh slaughtered (Exodus 1).See also:More about Passover


Was the Last Supper eaten in silence?

No, most likely the Last Supper was instituted in singing, praying, reading from the Old Testament, and talking. The Last Supper was an extension of the celebration of the Jewish Passover. During the Passover meal, as it is still eaten today, there was a lot of activity: solemnity, but also joy and festivity. Jesus used the last elements of the Passover to show that the bread and the wine were representations of His body and blood shed at the cross.
