Ilia asked what it is. This dinner celebrates, and in part recreates, the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt. OCC (Obligatory Cooking Content): Certain foods are mandatorily eaten during the seder to commemorate the event, and you must drink four glasses of wine.
For some information, look at http://www.seder.org/primer.htm or http://fly.hiwaay.net/~stmary/SederMeal.html (Christian view). A step-by-step information page is http://www.akosherpassover.com/seder.shtml and a cyber-seder, including images from a 15th century Haggadah, is at http://www.emanuelnyc.org/seder/seder.html
And for details (more for the eternally curious) check under "Seder" at http://www.ohr.org.il/web/index/asks.htm plus information on the trays and symbolic foods at http://www.jewishsuperstore.com/seder1.htm
Finally, a review of a cookbook especially for Seders! http://www.globalgourmet.com/food/egg/egg0498/passover.html
And even with the OCC, that's probably as far as I should push it. Happy Holiday, everybody!
