On which night of Passover is the seder held? What are the four questions asked by the youngest child...and the respective responses to those questions? What else is traditionally prepared for the meal aside from the unleavened bread and the bitter herbs and the four glasses of wine?

No holiday in the Jewish calendar is more complex or evocative than Passover. The Spring holiday celebrates the return of the sunlight and the first spring fruits on the table also reflects on the profound religious themes of the autumn festivals: awakening, life, and death, rebirth, and gratitude. Passover recalls the crucial event in the history of the Jewish people in which a group of slaves became a nation possessed of the dream called Torah.
Passover can also be the most demanding of the Jewish holidays because it requires a drastic change in diet during its week-long observance. The Bible forbids not only eating but even owning leavened foods, as a reminder of the time when the Jews were a hunted people who did not have even enough time to wait for dough to rise before baking it.
For this fragment to make sense, the rest of the story must be told too: the history of how the Jews came to Egypt, the story of Moses, the resistance of the midwives, and much more.
Passover preparations can be be divided into two general areas: getting ready for the Seder and preparing for a week of doing without bread and other leavened foods.
Seder, which literally means 'order', is the talking-feast held on the first and (for some people) second night of Passover.

i individually lean in direction of being a gnostic. which isn't an agnostic. Agnostics do no longer say there's a God, and don't say there is not any longer. Gnostics have faith there's a source to existence, via very own journey. Gnostics have an understandng of the underlying religious forces at artwork in our cloth length. yet unlike people who attempt and administration them, and purely get extra certain to them. we attempt to triumph over those issues, and unfastened oursleves from this worldwide we've trapped ourselves in. i latterly found out that Halloween, The Day the spirits are meant to be interested in Earth. Is 6 months after Christ ROSE from "dying". i might think of it is termed EASTer, because of the fact the East is the place the better of the imaginitive forces is declared to return from, as far as coming to our worldwide. The "egg" and "bunny". properly, all of us recognize what bunnies do. The WILD element! and that they produce babies at an miraculous fee! the two the egg and bunny are pagan fertility symbols. they did no longer worship intercourse, they worshipped fertility. the flexibility to make babies. for this reason the symbols of female and male intercourse. Like we choose magic to make babies, suitable? The "christ"mas tree became additionally a fertility image. (Jeremiah 10). I asked the Spirit what became incorrect with it one Christmas, and that i observed all those BALLS on it!

I believe seder is usually held the first and second night of passover. The four questions are as follows:
~~~Why is this night different from all other nights, from all other nights?
Why is it that on all other nights during the year we eat either bread or matzo, but on this night we eat only matzo?
Why is it that on all other nights we eat all kinds of herbs, but on this night we eat bitter herbs?
Why is it that on all other nights we do not dip our herbs even once, but on this night we dip them twice?
Why is it that on all other nights we sit straight or leaning, but on this night we are all seated leaning?
You eat hard boiled eggs, charoset(has apples, other stuff in it..its sweet), bitter herbs, matzah ball soup(so good!), matzah, wine or grape juice.
Hope that helps!
