Maror

Now take the leaf of lettuce, if chewed long enough will have a natural sweetness. Now put some horseradish in the leaf and roll it up. This represents the bitterness we may have to endure from keeping His commandments that brings forth the sweetness of holiness in our lives.

Baruch ata Adonai Eloheinu melech ha-olam, asher kid’shanu b’mitzvatav v’tzivanu al achilat maror

Praise are you, Adonia, Lord our G_d, Ruler of the universe, who has taught us the way of holiness through commandments, commanding us to eat the bitter herb.
