12 Beautiful Seder Plates for Passover
Whether you are hosting your first seder or are looking for something new, we found a seder plate for every style.
Every spring Jewish people from around the world gather to celebrate Passover, celebrating the exodus from slavery in Egypt. The eight day holiday begins with a seder, a dinner where family and friends gather to read the Haggadah, which tells the story of Passover. At the center of the table is a Seder Plate, a special plate with compartments for symbolic foods that help tell the story. You’ll most often find five or six things on the plate: Karpas, a green vegetable, often parsley representing spring, charoset, a mix of apples, wine, nuts and cinnamon to symbolize the mortar slaves used to use to construct buildings for Pharoh. You’ll also find maror, a bitter herb, often horseradish for bitter slavery, and some people will add a second “bitter” vegetable, most often lettuce. A roasted lamb shankbone is placed to represent the sacrificial offering, and a hardboiled egg for the cycle of life.
The Passover seder plate isn’t just highly symbolic —it can also be a beautiful centerpiece that often becomes a family heirloom.
