Indeed and from the sound of them they could probably even handle three roles.

Well “new wine” means grape juice literally. Or so I was told.

I believe it was the Church Curmudgeon who said, “Jesus can turn water into wine, but a Baptist can turn wine into Welch’s.”

When teaching children, the subject for the week was the wedding at Cana, and they changed wine to “super special party drink.” Not sure what they were thinking, as what kid would not love to have some super special party drink. Hum, maybe that is what fueled the sales of Boone’s Farm Strawberry Hill back in my high school days…

No.
New wine was wine that hadn’t been aged.
Germans make a big deal about it every year.
As someone who grew up on Wonder Bread communion, I found it very weird the first time I went to a church that did it with saltines. It took me a few years to realize that was a lot closer to what the Passover “bread” would have been like.

We have a lady in our church who bakes ours. It definitely has some leavening in it. I have used flour tortillas for communion, baked until a little crispy on the oven racks, which works well, and is a little closer to authentic.

One thing that I find funny is that in Guliver’s Travels, the Laputa’s experiments were supposed to be foolish endeavors to question the extent of science in the 1700s. Yet, the idea of trying to extract sunlight from a cucumber sounds an awful lot like Einstein’s Theory of Relativity, where energy (say, light) can be derived directly from matter (say, a cucumber). Also, the idea of trying to concert human waste back into food is now a major area of research in the field of sustainability. Imagine predicting the cutting edge of science several centuries beforehand!
