 | | As time went on, the Passover Haggadah gradually added hymns and roundelays (a roundelay is a simple song or poem with a refrain, meaning a regularly recurring verse or phrase particularly at the end of each division or stanza of a song or poem, similar to a chorus). |
 | | As mentioned, "Haggadah" means "narration", "telling", or "recital" in Hebrew, and derives from the biblical commandment in Exodus 13:8 by G-d to Moses and the Hebrews: "You shall tell your son on that day: it is because of what the Lord did for me when I came forth out of Egypt...". |
 | | The earliest illuminated Sephardic Passover Haggadah is the opulent Golden Haggadah from Barcelona, Spain circa 1320. |
