This essay discusses the roles ascribed to Elijah the biblical prophet by Jews of medieval Northwestern Europe (Ashkenaz), with particular attention to the rituals of Passover Seder. Elijah served as a symbol for the theme of redemption, and his inclusion in the ceremony was introduced and gained momentum specifically in Ashkenaz during the High Middle Ages. The symbol of Elijah eventually overshadowed the image of the Messiah (for whom he was seen as a forerunner) by becoming the ultimate guest of honor at the ceremony. Passover Haggadah illumination programs reveal another facet of Elijah’s characterization in Ashkenazi thought: as the loyal protector of Israel symbolized by the image of a dog.
