The Plagues

Moses went before Pharoah asking him to free the Israelites. Pharoah remained stubborn and made the Israelites work even harder. Finally, God said "Enough!" and brought not one plague...not two plagues...not even three plagues. He brought TEN plagues upon the Egyptians! Each one frightened Pharoah but lice, beasts, and boils weren't enough. It wasn't until after the last plague, the Death Of The Firstborn Of The Egyptians, that Pharoah agreed to let the Israelites go.

We fill our wine cups to remember our joy in being able to leave Egypt. Yet our happiness is not complete, because the Egyptians also suffered Pharoah's evil ways. Therefore, we spill a drop of wine from our cups as we say each plague.

Blood

Frogs

Lice

Beasts

Cattle Disease

Boils

Hail

Locusts

Darkness

Plague of the First Born

Lets add one more drop in honor of us and the billions of people around the world affected by this horrible pandemic.
