Kiddush Cups, Elijah Cups, and Miriam Cups
Before the Sabbath meal begins, the kiddush (meaning "sanctification") is recited over wine. Many kiddush cups are inscribed with biblical verses or quotations from the kiddush blessing. An Elijah Cup is a ceremonial cup symbolically placed on the Passover Seder table for the prophet Elijah. Similarly to the Elijah Cup, a cup is placed on the Seder table at Passover for the prophet Miriam to commemorate her efforts to support the people during the exodus from Egypt.
