The Cup of Elijah is a glass of wine that sits on the table near the seder plate (in background). The cup is one of the traditions of Passover. It represents the hope that this may be the time when the prophet will come and announce the messiah is coming, and so people put a cup of wine to invite him. (Brenda Ahearn/Daily Inter Lake)
