Salinas, CA (February 15, 2011) Royal Rose radicchio of Salinas, CA celebrates Passover with Red Rose Radicchio with “Venetian Charoset” by Chef Walter Mario Potenza of Providence Rhode Island USA / Mosciano Sant'Angelo, Teramo, Italy.
Passover is a Jewish festival (traditionally 8 days from Nissan 15) celebrating the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. The seven to eight day holiday is generally considered the most celebrated holiday among Jews. In celebrating Passover, the number four has symbolic significance. It’s the number of glasses of wine one should drink at the Seder — the ritualistic meal held on the first and second nights of Passover, it’s the number of the different types of personalities in the story about the Four Sons, and it’s the number of questions the youngest child, usually the youngest son, asks out loud.
Passover is also an instructional time for young members of the family, who learn about how each food item eaten during Seder is not only an object of food but also a symbol of the Israelites' imprisonment by the Egyptians and their subsequent freedom. Some Christians also celebrate Passover, since most Christians believe that Jesus’ last meal prior to his crucifixion was a Passover Seder.
