Parsley or celery is dipped in
salt-water. This is to represent
the hissop dipped in blood men-
tioned in Exodus 12.
Bitter Herbs.
The bitter herbs, horse radish
or any other bitter vegetable, is

ing of the Hebrews at the hands
of the Egyptians who made their
life bitter with hard labor.
Shank.

the Paschal lamb which was
eaten in the Temple period. A
roasted egg is placed with it to

fice, the "Hagigah," offered in
addition to the Paschal lamb.
Haroseth.
A compound of nuts, apples
and cinnamon minced into a
paste with wine. It resembles
the color of clay and is symbolic
