The 5ᵗʰ Cup of wine was introduced later.
The Orthodox tradition of 4 cups of wine & Cup of Eil•i•yãhꞋū dates back only to the 15ᵗʰ-century CE.
(The 5ᵗʰ cup, of course, is even more recent). So, tonight, we drink 3 cups of wine commemorating the same 3 promises (depending on whether you break them up into 3, 4 or 5 parts) of יְהוָׂה {Existant} to Yi•sᵊr•ã•eilꞋ:
Display The Torn/Broken Matz•ãhꞋ, pointing out:
the larger ≈half: the ≈ חֵצִי צָפוׁן &
the smaller ≈half: the ≈ חֵצִי מִינִי
Discuss. (But don't allow adults to take over discussion. The festival is for teaching the kids. Adults can resume after the kids go to bed.) — Mōsh•ëh´ percieved—not physically "heard"—the logically-necessary Presence & Purpose of (pre/above sex
) יְהוָׂה; in English, the translated Name is "Existant".
It's clear that Mōsh•ëh´ understood the need to grow the perception of the heavenly Tōr•ãhꞋ shë-bᵊ-al-pëhꞋ (an Ultimate Ë•mëtꞋ & TzëdꞋëq) to keep pace with the advancements in Science (modeling Æts Heavenly Operations of Æts universe; Æts Laboratory-Nursery).

Return Both Halves Of The Matz•ãhꞋ Exactly Where They Were!!! )
Note 1: If the roasted PësꞋakh—cut in small, thin pieces for the כּוֹרֵךְ הִלֵּל—is being kept warm in the kitchen,
Note 2: Since all lëkhꞋëm, including מַצּ֖וֹת—i.e. לֶ֣חֶם עֹ֑נִי—must be salted before any bᵊrãkh•ãhꞋ, Then
Note 3: All stacks of Matz•ōtꞋ must be salted before reciting the bᵊrãkh•ãhꞋ, including the חֵצִי צָפוׁן and חֵצִי מִינִי together in their original place
DIVERSION (to squirrel-away the חֵצִי צָפוׁן): Have some adult ask each child, beginning with the youngest, to explain The 4 Answers and the most interesting thing(s) learned, so far, about PësꞋakh.
Meanwhile, covertly slip the חֵצִי צָפוׁן (larger half) inside a [not-afikomen] bag and slip it to a prearranged adult who, after the children are distracted, quietly excuse from the table and secret the חֵצִי צָפוׁן in the pre-hidden "Treasure Chest" (the חֵצִי צָפוׁן is a treasure!)
When the guest returns from secreting the חֵצִי צָפוׁן, continue with the next section.
Even though we've already recited הַמּוֹצִיא and מַצָּה, and the Qi•dūshꞋ, nevertheless, we recite the special בִּרְכַּת מָרוֹר, before we eat our
כּוֹרֵךְ הִלֵּל (more than 1 if you're still hungry and there's remaining matz•ãhꞋ and sëh.
Remember too: any left-over sëh must be burned before morning). This will be the פֶּסַח Meal.
Each person make their own appetizer on a leaf of Mã•rōrꞋ (Romaine Lettuce). Spoon on dūk•æhꞋ (or kha•rōsꞋët, and khūmꞋūs if desired) along the spine of the mã•rōrꞋ. Then sprinkle as desired: ka•rᵊpasꞋ, garlic dip, hot chili sauce and other desired garden salad veggies—onions, sliced tomatoes, pickles, or paprika, cinnamon, etc. according to your taste—and eat your appetizer.

Fold Left Flap up and to the right, over the meat & garnishes; hold in place & crease in order to…
Still holding the left flap in place (this will become the bottom of the sandwich), fold the upper flap toward you & down over the sandwich and hold in place.
Roll-down the whole sandwich toward you to surround and complete wrapping the contents inside the sandwich. (Open side, to the right, is the top.) Done. Eat. 😊
The use of flatbread to grasp and dip meat into hot spicy sauce (still popular today in the Middle East and India) and garnish it with salad greens goes back nearly to the discovery of bread itself, around 13,000 years ago. The first to be documented, before the Schᵊwarma or Laffa—and 17 centuries before the Earl of Sandwich—was the כּוֹרֵךְ הִלֵּל!
That original PësꞋakh, Beit Yi•sᵊr•ã•eilꞋ, fearing for their lives when Par•ōhꞋ YakhꞋū-Mōses, would, at some unknown point, discover their ruse (sacrificing the PësꞋakh instead of their firstborn sons), threw together a quick sandwich to eat quickly. Then, using a sprig of hyssop, each household brushed blood of the PësꞋakh on their mëzūz•ōtꞋ and burned the evidence of their ruse, in a ruse-"sacrifice" fire, before "bugging out" in the "Yᵊtzi•ãhꞋ"
the next day.
In addition to their evening fast-food sandwich, it seems likely that they would have packed and taken (leaving only burned bones & ashes behind) PësꞋakh sandwiches to eat the next day as they walked, fleeing for their lives. (There were no cars, trains or planes. They couldn't even pull wagons through the marshy Yãm Sūph ("Sea of Reeds", separating ancient Mi•tzᵊr•ayꞋim from the Sin•aiꞋ). Thus, the "Hi•leil´" was the world's first fast-food take-out sandwich—"for those on the run"!
Accordingly, today's commemorative PësꞋakh SæꞋdër permits neither cooked side dishes nor dessert. Grilled כֶּ֣בֶשׂ wrapped in the top & bottom only מַצָּה, garnished with Mã•rōrꞋ & other kã•sheirꞋ condiments (see below), as desired, and accompanied by red wine or grape juice as desired.
** It's best, after the meal, to remove all other Matz•ōtꞋ from the table—leaving, without mention or fanfare (children may not discover it missing right away), only the חֵצִי מִינִי alone on the plate, to accentuate the missing חֵצִי צָפוׁן.
Display 2 torn pieces, oops half--hunt & find; then show how the 2 fit together, 1 piece from each half to each guest… Find צָפוּן (Children's Treasure Hunt)
Distribute a piece of צָפוּן to everyone
Before Avᵊrã•hãm and Mōsh•ëh´, all of the peoples of the world were physicomorphists (for children use idolaters), believing every physical object had its own rūꞋakh—an idol, which they worshiped (physicomorphism/idolatry) attempting to coerce nature to do their bidding (prayer). At the conclusion of the spring festivity to their idol-gods, these physicomorphists (idolaters) celebrated their perceived success with a great festival to their perceived main goddess of spring, renewal & fertility (love/sex): Ishtar! Later, the Romans called this spring festival Bacchanalia, which finished with a riotous and revelrous climax for Ishtar—that we never emulate!
Instead, we have merely a כְּזַיִת of לֶ֣חֶם עֹ֑נִי dipped in dūk•æhꞋ (i.e. kha•rōsꞋët)
Eat piece of plain צָפוּן (no condiment).
Pour 4ᵗʰ Cup (Don't Drink Until Fulfillment of the Bᵊrit )), there is no 5ᵗʰ cup
