(RNS5-DEC10) In an illumination from the Sarajevo Haggadah, a depiction of the first plague
shows the waters of the Nile turning into blood; below it is an image of the plague of frogs.
Believed to have been created in 14th century Spain as a wedding present for a young Jewish
couple, the 107 pages of the Haggadah contain prayers, poems and stories about the Jews’ exodus
from Egypt that traditionally guide Passover seders. See RNS-SARAJEVO-HAGGADAH,
transmitted Dec. 10.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
