Pesach Cloths and Afikomen Bags

There was a rail with both Pesach cloths and Afikomen bags. Both of these are used on the first two nights of the festival of Passover, or Pesach. On those nights there is an elaborate ceremony called the Seder recounting the story of the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt, and these cloths are used in the rituals involving the flat dry bread, matza, which Jews eat instead of bread for the eight days of the festival. The Afikomen is a symbollic matza which has different traditions associated with it in different parts of the world.
