After the conclusion of the Seder’s Grace After Meals, there is a universally accepted custom to pour a cup of wine (the “Cup of Eliyahu”), open the front door of the home, and recite several verses wherein we beseech G‑d to pour His wrath upon our persecutors and oppressors.
According to tradition, at this moment our homes are graced by the presence of Eliyahu HaNavì (Elijah the prophet).
Elijah’s cup is an important part of Passover Seder. Every year, Elijah the Prophet is invited to the Seder meal. A place is set at the table for Elijah, and we pour a cup of wine in his honor.
We thought it would be nice to create a beautiful, crafty wine goblet for Elijah, a craft that children can participate in wrapping the colorful string. While little fingers help you can tell the story of Eliyahu!
The supplies you will need are:
• natural jute or cotton string in several colors(choose the tones you like the most)
• a paint brush
• an inexpensive wine glass or goblet
• white craft glue or Mod Podge.
• scissors
If you are not familiar with the custom of Eliyahu, the post above from Chabad.org will help to explain the tradition.
