Subject: When did Christians start to use altars? |
Bible Note: Hi John, If we were to practice the ritual of communion as they did in the days of Christ, at the feast, we would first have to go through the foot washing ceremony! Reason being, someone’s stinky feet would be right next to our head because they all laid on very low couches or on the floor on pillows around the room. The depiction that most have of the Last Supper isn’t even close to the way that they use to celebrate feast in those days; they would all lay down in a semicircle so all could be seen and talked to directly. To my knowledge this is not a directive of Scripture but a common practice of the day. Have a great day, CDBJ |
