As this is taking place, the children are on “full alert,” watching eagle-eyed to try and see where the afikomen has been left because there is a longstanding custom that whoever “steals” the afikomen only returns it after holding it for ransom for an exorbitant reward!

We remain with the taste of the afikomen in our mouths to symbolize the though
