While the Passover meal is traditionally celebrated in the home among family or with close friends, in recent years there has been a move toward celebrating the Passover in larger groups. You may want to extend your family or Lenten group to include others in the Seder. The leader of the meal is traditionally the male head of the household. The female head of the household lights the candles and keeps the wine cups filled. All participants will have a chance to read parts of the Seder, either individually or as a group.
Children have a special role to play.
They ask the four questions, hide the Afikomen, and open the door for Elijah. All of these roles have symbolic significance, though you may wish to vary them. A Seder platter. The meal itself should consist of a simple chicken dish, salad, and some form of unleavened dessert. No bread is served except for the unleavened matzah.
