Passover Dishes & What They Symbolise

Sudi Pigott, 12.04.2022

Passover, which commemorates the exodus of the Jews from slavery in Egypt, comes with its own set of cherished dishes and foods. We reveal their symbolism and history.

Passover 2022 starts on the evening of Friday 15 April, coinciding this year with Easter weekend. The Seder meal, a ritualised festive dinner, is held on the first night, or the second night for those living outside of Israel. Passover or Pesech in Hebrew is the story of Exodus, the end of the Jews' captivity in Egypt, and is one of the most important in the Jewish calendar.
