The children should now search for the Afikomen and the leader will "redeem" it by giving the child a gift or a coin in exchange. The matzah is then broken into as many small pieces as necessary, and distributed to each of the guests.
LEADER, The Afikomen was the substitute for the Passover Lamb, which in days of old, was the final food of the Seder feast. Surprisingly, the word "Aftkomen" is the only Greek word in the Passover Seder. Everything else is Hebrew. It is a form of the Greek verb ikneomai, which means literally 'I CAME.'
This completes the meal portion of the Seder.
