The act of lighting candles at the beginning of a Passover Seder holds profound significance in Jewish tradition, symbolizing the transition from the mundane to the sacred. 

.

The candles serve as a reminder of the importance of bringing light into the world and spreading the message of hope and freedom. It is tradition for the women of the household to light the candles and bring light into the home.

.

Blessed are you, Eternal God, sovereign of the universe, who has made us holy with your word, and asked us to light these festive candles.
