Questions and Answers

Q. Why is flatbread preferred?

A. Because flatbread is baked without yeast which, in the Bible, is symbolic of sin. Since Jesus was without sin, flatbread best symbolizes Christ.

 

Q. Why is juice or wine preferred and not any beverage?

A. Because both are “fruit of the vine” and thereby symbolize Jesus’s blood as he described it at the Last Supper.
