Maggid Egg

The Egg for the first night.

Take one of the hard boiled eggs and dip it in salt water and then eat it.

The hard-boiled egg symbolizes Spring and the renewal of life.  The salt water symbolizes the tears of the Jewish people during their enslavement.

The egg also reminds us of the Jewish midwives who refused to carry out the Pharaoh's order to kill the male babies and thus ensured the survival of the Jewish people.
