Special Ritual Meal

  • The Christian ritual meal was instituted by Jesus at the Last Supper, the Community ritual meal was laid down in the Community Rule in which the priest shall "bless the first fruits of the bread and new wine" after which the Messiah, who is present in spirit, or the leader (priest?), who is really present, extends his hand over the bread that they might begin.
