The Unbloody SacrificeWhat replaces blood is the most interesting substitution in the whole sequence.Bread and wine. Not wheat and grapes — bread and wine. Both are wheat and grape put through human technology: milling, fermenting, waiting. The offering is now something we co-created rather than something we merely caught.And the wine is given to the people to drink. Under every previous system the libation was reserved for the god. Here the direction of flow is reversed.God indwells human technology, and the congregation is fed instead of the altar.
