The main event of Passover is the Passover Seder, the ritual-filled festive meal during which we tell the story of the Jewish People's liberation from slavery in Egypt, through special ritual items just for Passover: The story is recounted from a special book called a Haggadah. The centerpiece of the table is the Seder plate, containing the six symbolic foods that tell the story of Passover. Matzah - the "bread of affliction" - is eaten as a reminder of how quickly the Israelites left Egypt, covered and placed in a special matzah plate. A piece of matzah (the "afikoman") is broken off to be eaten after the meal and hidden in an afikoman bag. And finally, the cup of Elijah is placed on the table in the hope that the Messiah and redemption will one day come.
