I know I said I would find an old Hagadah or prayer book for Passover....but thought since I haven't been able to find it, I still wanted to share about the Passover plate and how it reveals Christ to us. I will also at the end give you the site so you can read as much as you would like to know about...How Passover is a foreshadowing event pointing the jews to know Messiah, I pray more jews come to know the Lord...in Jesus name I pray, amen. Here is the plate symbolism:
I did edit and delete what I had previously given, it just wasn't the complete story, so here is what I do have about the Seder Plate and then a Messianic site for the "Whole Story"!
First, I will start with the plate:
There is the Matzoh, or unleavened bread, which is what the Lord ate at the Last supper.
There is a Lambs shankbone put upon the plate, of course, we know "He was the ultimate sacrificial lamb, and represented by the shankbone".
There is Parsley put upon the plate which also has "salt water on it" to dip the parsely into "To remember the tears shed in Egypt".
There is Maror, a bitter green herb, for One rememberance of the "bitterness of Egpytian bondage".
There is also Horseradish on the plate, another symbol of the "bitterness the hebrews indured under Pharohs rule.
There is also, a "Roasted egg", which of course symbolises two things...The Triune Spirit of God, and our own three fold lives. The outer shell of the egg which is roasted, just like when we go through "a fiery trial", and then under that is our "mind or soul" the white of the egg, and then we have the Yellow yolk that symbolises our Golden Spirits which belong to Him within the heart of the egg, protected by HIM!
And, then lastly, the Seventh item is Karaset...which is apples, nuts and honey ground into a spred...for the Joy that comes in "The promised land" Israel!
Now, that covers the plate itself, and for much more info...this site is a Christian Jews site...so I think this one is much more accurate with His wisdom.
Now, here is the link with way more info than I could have served you! When the web is used for good purposes "it can come in and teach"...

I think I may do some reading in there, looked interesting. May this site bless those who want to know "how to have a "Last Supper" in your home this Passover. Which by the way, just happens to be in the same order as in Jesus' day this year! So, the jews will be celebrating "Passover" on the first night...the same sundown night that Jesus celebrated Passover, and the Christians will "grieve on the same Friday...that the Disiples of Christ did", and even the Greek Orthodox should have the same line up as the RCC, The Jewish Temples, The Greeks Orthodox, and the rest of the Christian World...all celebrating at the same time! I don't know how often the days all line up correctly as in Christs days, but this year is one of them!
And, you know I had been thinking for a long while about "why there were "eggs" used at Easter, and I know "most people" think it is from an old pagan fertility ritual, but if you read "there is an egg" upon the seder plate, maybe this is where the old "egg" tradition started! I dunno, just thought about that last night! Now, the Easter bunny, they all got me on that one!
