According to Jewish tradition, during the Passover seder service, Elijah will arrive as a surprise or unknkown guest to herald the advent of the Messiah. During the Seder dinner, biblical verses are read while the door is briefly opened to welcome Elijah. The seder dinner commemorates and recalls the historical redemption of Jews from Egyptian bondage and foretells their future redemption. (AP Photo/Kathy Willens)
