Station: [120] Bread as a staple food

The films you can watch in this room were made by Sister Mehmets, the former janitor of the parish, from Kurdistan, in present-day Turkey. This oven, which is fired from above, was invented 6000 years ago. The dough is also stuck into the oven from above. Goat hair is added to the clay to increase the durability of the oven, called tannur, and you will find a Bible word in each tannur. Start clockwise. It becomes clear that all states of mind can be associated with the word bread, "lechem" in Hebrew. Bread here is more than bread, it is simply food, but even more: it is also food for the soul. This becomes clear in the Arab world, where lechem means meat, or in southern Arabia, on the coast, where "lechem" means fish. But bread is no longer a staple food for us. Whether it is in accordance with Jesus' will when we use wafers in the memorial service of Jesus is a question that must be answered unequivocally. Wafers are not a staple food.
