Sacred Meal & Communion

Luke 22:19-20

“And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, 'This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.'”

Exodus 12:14

“This is a day you are to commemorate; for the generations to come you shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord—a lasting ordinance. For seven days you are to eat bread made without yeast.”

Passover festival

Quran (Eid al-Adha tradition)

“O you who believe! Eat of the good things that We have provided for you, and be grateful to Allah if it is indeed He whom you worship. The meat of sacrificed animals reaches Allah not by your meat or blood, but by your piety.”

Bhagavad Gita 3:13

“The virtuous eat the remnants of yajna (sacrifice). But the wicked prepare food only for themselves, and verily eat sin. All beings are born from food; food is born from rain; rain comes from yajna.”

Langar (Sikh community meal)

“In the Langar, all sit together equally, the rich and the poor, the high and the low, eating the same food prepared with love and devotion. This practice dissolves social hierarchies and builds community bonds.”

Passover Seder

“This is the bread of affliction that our ancestors ate in the land of Egypt. All who are hungry, let them come and eat. All who are needy, let them come and celebrate the Passover with us.”
